Sally Timms

Sally Ann Timms (born 29 November 1959) is an English singer and songwriter. Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, she now lives in the Chicago area, where she works as a paralegal. She is best known for her long career as co-lead singer for the post-punk band the Mekons which she joined in 1985, and who have been described as "arguably […] the longest-running of all bands that emerged in the British punk explosion of 1977".

Timms has had a successful solo career in the lo-fi electronics and alternative country genres, notably writing the song "Horses", covered by Will Oldham.
