  • Bio

    ....Seamus Begley comes from Baile ngall or Ballydavid on the Dingle peninsula and is a legend in Irish music. His partnership with the incredible Australian/Irish guitarist+producer Steve Cooney led to arguably the most exciting duet in Irish music ever and the album "Meiteal" is still considered a classic worldwide. Seamus has a voice from the gods and his accordeon style has been copied by many box players for its remarkable energy, soul and power which many people believe is unmatched in traditional Irish music. After Begley+Cooney went seperate ways in 1999 Seamus formed a duet with the fine Macroom guitarist Jim Murray and the duet still tour, record together and have just released their second album. .... Tim Edey at 29 years old is regarded by many as one of the finest guitarists+multi-instrumentalists in the Celtic music scene having played, toured and recorded with most of the biggest names in the Celtic music scene including; Michael McGoldrick, Lunasa, Mary Black, Sharon Shannon, Frankie Gavin, Session A9, Capercaillie's Donald Shaw+Charlie McKerron, Altan, Steve Cooney. Tim is currently playing with the Sharon Shannon band, and plays in a duet with Isobel Crowe and regularly with Michael McGoldrick, Brendan Power, Lucy Randall and Charlie McKerron... .. Tim's guitar style is hugely influenced by his father Richard, Steve Cooney, Django, and Ed Boyd, his own approach to playing traditional music was set to be pretty special from the start. Tim loves improvising and has often been described as an Irish jazzer! A mixture of dazzling technical ability and soulful feel have made Tim a highly sought after session musician both in the studio and on stage. Tim has a new solo album out soon and it will feature his own box playing which is unique on the d/g diatonic English melodoen system and features Brendan power on harmonica. .. .. ..................I made my layout with the ..Myspace Background Maker...

    Hey there,

    Here's one from left field...

    Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

    A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

    Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

    Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

    Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

    I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:

    Help to raise awareness.

    Say have you checked out my web site recently?

    Take care and keep in touch.

    Best,
    Faber.
