Jimi and The Strangers is an alternative rock band who harness the unique talents of various musicians from Nottingham and the UK. These fluid members form the ever changing band profile and composition. The band was formed by founding members James Mortimer and Lee Thomas back in 2014. Their music has been described as tongue in cheek, bitter sweet alternative rock, with one foot in country, and with a smattering of rhythm and blues. The band are working towards releasing their first album which is designed to launch the team's film project. The film, How to Make A Hit Number One (draft title), is a comedic mockumentary charting the rise of the band as they embark on 'specialist' training, in the hope to make it big. The film is in the development phase and post script. The album will include the following tracks:

Travelling Mystery
Nowhere to Run
Year of 99
Looking Back
You Aint Right
Keep on Killing Me
You Don't Own Me
I'm Not Perfect
Stone Cold Streets
and White Collar Zoo

All tracks are co-written by Lee and Jimi.

Current band members include: Jimi Strange, Diane Jackson, Jim Farey, Will Jeffery and Arwel, with collaborations from some of Nottinghams finest musical talents.

Lee Thomas acts as chief lyricist /writer, executive producer and band manager, with Jimi taking on the role of music director /writer, lead singer and band leader. The band plans to self-publish their work through Ditto Music, with an EP release date of 2018.

The band members can often be found whiling away their down time on the veranda at Nottingham's Broadway Cinema.
