Tim, now a name on the world stage in his own right after seventeen years of hard work, is rated by many to be one of the world's finest ever Melodeon and Guitar players in the folk & contemporary scene today!
Originally from Broadstairs in Kent and of Irish descent, Tim honed his style learning from his father Richard, a fine guitarist, and listening to Ed Boyd, Steve Cooney, and Django Reinhardt. He has lived in Ireland and now resides in Perthshire, Scotland, where he is based with his family and tours all over the world regularly.
Tim's live solo shows are a stunning mix of world music-inspired instrumental virtuosity and passion with a strong Celtic theme, audience chorus lines, and above all, a highly entertaining night of musical genius.

"Stunning" - Aled Jones, BBC Radio Two
"I would say Tim sits comfortably between Steve Cooney and Donal Lunny; yes, he's that good" - Pete Fyfe, www.folking.com
Tim's most recent tours and gigs have taken him over the Atlantic from Scotland to Canada & the U.S.! Appearing solo at the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton, previously with Brendan Power and his own Tim Edey Collective.
