"Tim Edey is an incredibly talented and gifted musician. Even more importantly he cares enough to get the very most out of each and every one of those lucky enough to ever have lessons from him." - Sharon Shannon
"Our Celtic world is lucky to have Tim Edey- my favourite guitarist and nicest person in the world! After touring, performing and recording with Tim over the years, I can tell you all he is an incredible talent with a most unique style.
His music is so full of feeling, energy and vulnerability that he has brought me to tears at times with some of his performances- and then makes me laugh a breath later! Most recently, my 9 year old has taken on line lessons from Tim on the accordion. I am so grateful for his teaching skills and generosity to our son. Thanks Tim!"
