A unique talent, Tim plays a variety of instruments to an astonishing level.  He has a ‘phonographic’ memory in recalling music. His mind is best described as a ’musical super computer’ linked to remarkable sensitivity and empathy. He plays guitar, accordion, banjo, piano/keyboards, ukulele, mandolin, bass guitar, bouzouki and whistles to concert standard.  In addition to this he has a fine singing voice.  His genres range between classical, classic pop, swing, gypsy jazz, world music, classic jazz, country (including flat picking blue grass) and all folk styles. Tim is a highly entertaining musical genius with an uncanny knack of making audiences laugh – he is a natural presenter and raconteur.

Artists Tim has worked with include the Chieftains, Christy Moore, Mary Black, Paul Brady, Sharon Shannon, Shane McGowan, Séamus Begley, Frankie Gavin, Altan, Ry Cooder, Eddi Reader, Julie Fowlis, Dougie Maclean, Capercaillie, Michael McGoldrick, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Ewan Vernal,  Natalie MacMaster, Mike Harding and many more. He has made frequent appearances on television and radio shows.
