Tim needs no introduction to lovers of folk, roots and Celtic music, either as a performer in his own right, a go-to musician for the likes of The Chieftains, Sharon Shannon, and Capercaillie, or his collaborations with a range of friends, such as renowned Scottish piper Ross Ainslie and harmonica player Will Pound, plus legends such as Mike McGoldrick and Dougie McLean. Receiving a BBC Radio Folk Award 2012 and winning the BBC Scotland Musician of the Year in 2020 are just two of his many accolades and confirmation of his standing in the industry.

Here's what other musicians say about Tim:-

​“Tim Edey plays a host of different instruments to a standard us mere mortals can only dream of. Listen and weep”- Jim Byrne, The Living Tradition

Tim brings remarkable musical virtuosity, along with his effervescent performance, engaging personality and a sense of fun – combining this with a show that celebrates the music of both the Celtic tradition and the festive/sacred season.
