Timms contacted Prog having read the United Progressive Fraternity feature, and gave us the following response to various comments in relation to him or Unitpoia that vocalist Mark Trueack and drummer Dave Hopgood made. This is his full response...

I hope you don't mind me contacting you, but I saw the article yesterday on UPF (I'm a digital subscriber) and there were quite a few half truths and out and out lies in it. I'd like a chance to respond if I may? I don't want what's happened and what I'm doing (or going to do) to be misrepresented. I apologise upfront if this is a tad long... I'll go through them one by one.

1) 'There were a few communication problems' - Mark. There were NO communication problems. I made it quite clear to Mark on a number of occasions that he needed to apologise to Patsy Delledonne (our manager) for his behaviour towards her (long story) and his passive/aggressive attitude towards us both. He refused, so I let him know quite clearly that I didn't want to work with him anymore. He changed his attitude, but too late... the damage was done.

2) 'Musical Differences' - There were no musical differences. I was thrilled with the music we were creating for the new album, but after his thoughtlessness and stubborn behaviour, I was no longer interested in continuing working with him.
