Details
Well, what can one say about this young man? Phenomenon, instrumental virtuoso, off the scale - all superlatives have been exhausted in describing Tim's enormous musical talent. “Tim Edey is brilliant – in every which way. As a guitarist he has few peers. As a box player he’s a magician. As a character he’s off the scale – Colin Irwin, fRoots “Utterly fantastic. Sheer, wonderful ebullient music” – Mike Harding “Tim Edey plays a host of different instruments to a standard us mere mortals can only dream of. Listen and weep”- Jim Byrne, The Living Tradition Tim Edey was voted BBC Radio Two’s Musician of the year 2012 (BBC R2 FOLK AWARDS) and “Best duo” with Brendan Power.

Everyone left Tim's shows just simply shaking their heads in amazement with jaws dropping thuddingly to the floor! LOOMA Three parts English, one part Orkney, Looma play acoustic roots and folk music from the swamps of Louisiana to the Swedish midnight sun, and everywhere in between.
