Originally from Broadstairs in Kent and of Irish descent. Tim honed his style learning from his father Richard, himself a fine guitarist, and listening to Ed Boyd, Steve Cooney and Django Reinhardt. He has lived in Ireland and now resides in Perthshire, Scotland, where he is based with his family and from where he regularly tours all over the world.

​Tim's live solo shows are a stunning mix of world music, inspired instrumental virtuosity and passion, with a strong Celtic theme, and above all, a highly entertaining night of musical genius, all held together by his dynamic and infectious personality.
