His most recent cd, with multi-instrumentalist
and vocalist Kris Drever, ‘Honk Toot Suite’, was
released in January 2007 again on Compass Records. Songlines
described it as ‘a breath of fresh air’
with its ‘mutually attuned musicianship of the first
order’ and ‘its immense yet ultra-supple
sophistication’. |

Tim Edey is 28 years old and is regarded
by many as one of the finest DG melodeon/accordeon and guitar
players of his generation in the Celtic music folk scene
worldwide.
Influenced early on by the likes of Luke Daniels, Sharon
Shannon, Dermot Byrne, Begley and Cooney and Django Reinhardt,
Tim’s own approach to playing traditional music was
set to be pretty special from the start.
Tim loves improvising and has often been described as
an Irish jazzer! A mixture of dazzling technical ability
and soulful feel have made Tim a highly sought after session
musician both in the studio and on stage. |
To date, as well as touring with renowned Irish Dance show
‘Magic Of The Dance’, Tim has performed, recorded
and appeared on radio and TV with most of Celtic music’s
best known names, including: Julie Fowlis, Frankie Gavin,
Session A9, Anam, Michael McGoldrick and various members of
Scottish supergroup Capercaillie, Altan, Steve Cooney, Mary
Black, Seamus Begley, and acclaimed Irish band Lunasa. He
also played on and co-arranged Lunasa’s latest album
‘SÉ’.
In 2000 Tim toured with Sharon Shannon and the Woodchoppers.
More recently, Tim composed a track for Sharon called ‘Little
Bird’ which appears on Sharon’s latest CD ‘The
Sharon Shannon collection’, which has achieved platinum
status in Ireland. |
