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.
Later on at around fifteen Tim played gigs locally alot in his
teens, and also learned lots of music both Greek and Irish, from musicians and
great friends Dimitri Michiladis and Jim O'Shea+Pete May in which he played in
two gigging groups Neptune's craic and Tim+Dimitri, all these musicians helped
and encouraged Tim with his music and especially on the guitar.
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 Tim's 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 Tim's 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!
