Michael McGoldrick and Tim Edey have been friends for many years and have often performed on the same stage. But as some of the best-known artists on the folk-trad scene, both are in high demand, so it's a rare opportunity to see them on tour together.Michael McGoldrick is recognised as one of the greatest flautists of all time. Co-founder of Flook and Lúnasa and lynchpin of Capercaillie's line-up since 1998, Manchester-born Michael McGoldrick has played around the globe in recent years with ex-Dire Straits legend Mark Knopfler's band - including a tour with Knopfler and Bob Dylan. Despite a long list of stellar collaborations, his true genius lies in his own groundbreaking work as a musician and composer.Multi-instrumentalist and composer Tim Edey is originally from Kent, England, but is of Irish descent and at home on stages around the world, performing with big names from the folk and roots music scene such as Lunasa, The Chieftains, Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon and many more. He is regarded as one of the best harmonica and guitar players on the traditional scene - his live shows are a breathtaking mix of instrumental virtuosity and passion, inspired by world music, but always with a strong Celtic flavour.The two ‘superstars’ from the traditional music scene promise a highly entertaining evening with breathtaking music.
