Hi there my name's Tim Tanner and I usually sit with my twin brother Sam Tanner I'm going to tell you about our career Sam and I have been pretty famous as the singing twin brothers for about three years and we've appeared on lots of TV shows including summer holiday special and fun time which is the talent show where we were voted best at you probably saw it it's the one where the people in the act had to be related to each other after that we had four hit singles in a row and I guess the rest is history really people often ask us what it's like to be twins who've grown up looking so alike Sam and I have shared almost every experience and we're never usually apart for more than an hour at a time I was born 10 minutes before Sam so officially I'm the older brother although we do actually have a real older brother Ken who's a year older than us we were born premature you know earlier than we were supposed to be mum says it was hard carrying both of us when she was pregnant and she was quite relieved when we suddenly appeared in October rather than January over two months earlier than expected our Big Brother ken's birthday is in December so we're pretty close in age it must have been tough for our parents with three young boys Sam and I aren't completely identical but most people can't tell us apart it's only mum who never mixes us up even our dad makes a mistake sometimes calling me Sam and my brother Tim because there's hardly any difference in our hair and with the same height and build but as soon as we open our mouths he'll know which one it is by the voice sand is a bit deeper than mine but most people don't even notice that in character we're quite similar we've both always loved music and since we were five we've wanted to be pop stars we've always had a real interest in going out and being sociable too I'm a bit shy though people that know us say I'm not as confident as samy's which is probably true although I'm not exactly sure you know after all you can't appear on TV if you are at school we used to pretend to be each other sometimes for a laugh sometimes we'd swap places for spelling tests but nobody noticed because we got the same marks which were pretty low we were better at sports and both played in the school football team I was also good at basketball but Sam wasn't as keen preferring volleyball for some reason we were both much more interested in music I began learning the guitar and he started proper singing lessons with a private teacher when we were about 13 but a year or so later we both got into dancing in a big way and then we went to a special school where we could do loads of stuff that's turned out to be useful things like drama we share everything and have one phone and computer between us and we get on well almost 100% of the time but of course occasionally we have a row usually about shoes because we share them too but if we both want to wear the same ones for a show then we'll argue for about 20 seconds and then one of us will give in and it will be over we managed to share the computer pretty well without fighting over it which some people might find surprising our image is based on being twins and looking alike and because we both have poor eyesight we enjoy choosing different styles of glasses for performances you know maybe green ones to go with green suits or dark ones with T-shirts and jeans so the glasses are a major aspect of the way people see us on stage and look out for some new looks on our next tour to promote the new album which is called time dance and comes out in a few weeks it's got some exciting new songs on it quite different from our first album soul brothers Sam and I wrote all the new songs together now listen again….
