Tim has toured the world and recorded with most of the major names in Celtic/Contemporary roots music including The Chieftains, Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon and Dougie Maclean, alongside many others. After seventeen years of hard work, Tim is now a name on the world stage and is rated by many as one of the world's finest ever Melodoen and Guitar players in the folk and contemporary scene.
Originally from Broadstairs in Kent and of Irish descent, Tim honed his style learning from his guitarist father Richard and listening to Ed Boyd, Steve Cooney and Django Reinhardt. He has lived in Ireland and now resides in Perthshire, Scotland. Tim's live solo shows are a stunning mix of world music, inspired instrumental virtuosity and passion with a strong Celtic theme - and above all, a highly entertaining night of musical genius.

Tim Edey
Winning both categories in which he was nominated at this year's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, 'Best Musician' and 'Best Duo' (with Brendan Power), Tim Edey is one of the finest multi-instrumental players of his generation in the worldwide Celtic music scene. A virtuoso on both acoustic guitar and button accordion, Tim's incredible musical ear and total technical command allows him to play the most demanding instrumentals and improvise freely in any style you throw at him. His great gifts have led to touring/recording with Sharon Shannon, Lunasa, Michael McGoldrick, Seamus Begley, Mary Black, Altan and Capercaillie - to name a few, and has also appeared on the Jools Holland show. Tim has released four solo albums and had his compositions recorded by Sharon Shannon and other respected Celtic artists.
