Recent??
Tim van Eyken won the first Young Folk Award competition in 1998 and it was around then that his first (and so far only) solo CD, New Boots was released. As most (I imagined) people know, he has since collaborated with Rob Harbron both as a duo and in Dr Faustus and has spent seven (I think, almost) years in Waterson:Carthy while Saul Rose was on paternity leave. Now he has his own (loose) band Van Eyken with long-time casual collaborators on the CD Stiffs Lovers Holymen Thieves (which covers most trad music really).
What on earth has he does that's over-orchestrated or even over-produced? Are you even thinking of the right musician?
