Tim started playing Irish folk music at the age of four on the piano followed by
piano accordion at six and whistle. Encouraged by his parents, grandparents,
whistle player Fred Ayling with whom Tim and his Dad had a trio when Tim was
twelve years old called "Spatter the dew" playing a residency at Salmestone
grange in Margate and many other gigs.
Next Tim at fourteen met Dublin born singer+musician Enda Mccabe, and the
fiddle+banjo player Rob McGoerge from Kent and it was with these two musicians
and often fiddle players Saskia Tomkins and Ramona Egle with whom Tim was a
member of the popular Kent band Camine with Andy Renshaw+Zinta Egle. Tim played
four nights a week with all over Kent+France at the age of fourteen!. his Mum is
from Dublin and very much into the Irish music of her native land and his dad is
a fine guitarist+singer that plays lots to this day. Tim has been influenced by
his favourite accordeon/melodoen players Sharon Shannon, Luke Daniels and Seamus
Begley since the age of twelve and guitarist and musical genius Steve Cooney
from Melbourne has influenced TimÆs guitar playing to no end since meeting Steve
on Easter friday 1995 in London when Steve played with Seamus Begley at the Swan
in Stockwell. These three Irish music legends it is safe to say have been TimÆs
biggest inspiration as well as his parents and Django Reinhart and De Dannan
founder Frankie Gavin.
Tim was also brought up listening in his parents kitchen and on family boating
holidays, to the legendary French jazz musicians Django Reinhardt and Stephane
Grapelli who are still regarded as the best Jazz guitar and violin players of
all time. Tim loves improvising and has often been described as an Irish jazzer!
