Adventurous creative players are drawn to each other,
and the first time Tim and Brendan met the musical sparks flew!
The magic erupted whenever they played, so they finally decided
to get serious as a performance duo. Tim Edey is one
of the finest multi-instrumental players of his generation in
the worldwide Celtic music scene. A virtuoso on both acoustic
guitar and button accordion, Tim's incredible musical ear and
total technical command allows him to play the most demanding
instrumentals and improvise freely in any style you throw at
him. His great gifts have led to touring/recording with Sharon
Shannon, Lunasa, Michael McGoldrick, Seamus Begley, Mary Black,
Altan and Capercaillie - to name a few. Tim has released four
solo albums and had his compositions recorded by Sharon Shannon
and other respected Celtic artists. UK based Kiwi harmonica
player and composer.
Brendan Power is acknowledged by many as one of the most
versatile and creative blues harp players around today. He has
recorded with the likes of Kate Bush, Sting, Van Morrison, Paul
Young, James Galway, John Williams, Paul Brady, Altan, and Artie
McGlynn. A fluent improviser in jazz/blues/pop styles, Brendan
is also an expert player of Irish traditional music, winning
the All Ireland title in 1994. He has recorded 15 solo CDs and
works for Suzuki Musical Instrument Corp as their International
Harmonica Specialist. He sings and composes original songs,
and often throws in some nifty beatboxing too. The duo's powerful
blend of passion and virtuosity is infectious. What sets them
apart from most folk/Celtic acts is their free-wheeling approach
to live performance. Tim and Brendan love to improvise, which
means that every time they do a piece it sounds different &
fresh. It's that sheer mad spontaneity which unfailingly captures
audiences everywhere!
"Tim Edey and Brendan Power were the buzz of Celtic
Colours 2010! Their sheer virtuosity and the genuine joy with
which they deliver their music invariably resulted in standing
ovations."
Joella Foulds, Celtic Colours Festival Director, Cape Breton
