About Tim & Barry
Tim & Barry are a creative duo who have been documenting and shaping the UK underground for over 25 years through photography, film, live broadcast, and digital experimentation.
Starting in the early 2000s with raw photos from grime’s first wave and behind-the-scenes pirate radio sessions, they were among the first to create work directly for social media on MySpace – long before platforms like YouTube were mainstream.
Their YouTube channel, launched in 2007, hosted one of the earliest consistent webseries documenting underground culture, and was a springboard for artists like JME, Skepta and Novelist.
In 2010, Tim & Barry launched *Just Jam*, a live-streaming format that became globally iconic for its boundary-pushing approach, from being the 1st to stream from a Club, use green screen technology, the introduction of multiple cameras and the use real-time VFX. Through Just Jam is a clear to see how Tim and Barry have influenced and prefigured and influenced platforms like Boiler Room.
Beyond media, Tim & Barry operate as a CIC (Community Interest Company), supporting youth development and artist mentoring – merging legacy with impact.
