On the Couch - #216 - MEX in conversation with Tim Parr - Part 2

Season 5 · Episode 9

Friday, January 16, 2026 • Duration 30:17

We had the brilliant Tim Parr in conversation with me on CapeTalk on Thursday, 15th January at 9 pm, chatting about his musical journey.

Tim Parr first came to national prominence in the southern-rock blues band Baxtop, where he shared guitar duties with Larry Amos in the Joburg club scene of 1976. Rising quickly to the top of the national circuit and winning the SABC battle of the bands, they recorded “Work it Out” for Warner Brothers in 1979, which remains an enduring SA classic.

Parr then formed Ella Mental with Heather Mac, which was one of the iconic 80’s bands to have a string of radio hits in South Africa, playing many of the country's top festivals.

The common thread throughout all these projects has been Tim Parr’s expressive and soulful guitar playing, and unlike many guitarists, his rhythm and textural playing is as distinctive as his unmistakable voice.
