Past and present residents of Formby include:- Tymon Dogg (born Stephen John Murray) is a violinist, guitarist, keyboardist and singer who was born in Formby in 1950. He is best known for his work with Joe Strummer of The Clash. He started his career in the late 60s, under the original pseudonym of ‘Timon’, and was quickly spotted by influential people such as the Beatles and the Moody Blues. More recently he has written music for films including 'Black Hawk Down' (2001), 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005), 'Joe Strummer; The Future is Unwritten' (2007). Stephen Murray's musical career began at the age of 14, playing Bob Dylan and Donovan covers on harmonica and guitar at the Peppermint Lounge in Liverpool, and occasionally at the famous Cavern Club. While still at school, he came up with the pseudonym of ‘Timon’ as a stage name in order to separate the fact he was both a performing musician and schoolboy. Spencer Leigh (now a DJ on BBC Radio Merseyside) met Timon in 1965 and encouraged the young musician's song-writing. He became his local promoter, helping him get gigs and sending off demo tapes to record companies Read more on Wikipedia Spencer Leigh homepage
