Jurassic Folk Guest Night, at the Grove, Seaton
by Peter Arnold
(Seaton)
Tim Edey
Wednesday 7th March, with the Tim Edey Collective.
Fresh from 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. Check him out at timedey.co.uk (opens in new window) and on numerous YouTube clips.
He will be at Jurassic Folk with his band, the Tim Edey Collective, and an evening of musical excitement is assured.
Doors open 7.45pm, and for more info and to order Advance Tickets at £5 go to www.eastdevonfolk.org or phone 01297 20064.
