Tim has now sent mp3s of tunes for the workshop, as he doesn't read and will be teaching by ear. If you're interested, please get in touch with me.

Tim has just started teaching, and within the first ten minutes was doing things with Princess Royal you just couldn't believe. He's also an utter sweetie. We're in for a treat when he performs at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club tonight.

Tim's performance was extraordinary. He frequently had me laughing out loud at his playful inventiveness, but it never detracted from the tunes or treated them with a lack of respect. It was a particular delight to hear his melodeon playing, which is joyfully rich and complex. We had a couple of pleasant songs from him, too.

Go and see him! Book him solo, it's a bit of a new departure for him!
