For those of you who have not yet heard the music of Tim Edey, you are in for some shock! and we mean that sincerely... a genuine shock to the system in the most fantastic way!! Tim Edey is a fireball, a tour-de-force, a musical dynamo and a pure musical genius. There is no one on this planet to compare to Tim Edey.

Tim’s first appearance in Monaghan was at Feile Oriel 2023 as the opening act in St. Joseph’s church he left the audience stunned and speechless. Equally proficient on guitar and box he also enjoys playing jazz and blues on piano. Of the many influences on young Tim, he of Kent UK, it was his trip in Dingle, meeting with the legend that was Seamus Begley (RIP) that spurned his thirst and devotion for Irish music, and in particular box playing. Tim was also part of the SUPERBAND which perfomed to critical acclaim on the Saturday night.

Bringing Tim back this year for a special collaboration with Donald Shaw on Saturday May 5th will be another jaw-dropping experience.
