JP Cormier & Tim Edey – Celtic Guitar Masters

About the show

Two world-class Celtic guitarists – one night only at The Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith, London!
Two of the world’s greatest folk guitar players, JP Cormier and Tim Edey together create Celtic-infused, genre-defying magic. To have them appearing as a duo as part of the Irish Cultural Centre’s visiting acts programme is something truly special. This is their only London show — not to be missed.

The outstanding JP Cormier and Tim Edey first met at the Celtic Colours Festival in Cape Breton, Canada in 2010, where Tim recalls they both felt something magical happen in their meeting and playing together. The following year, Tim returned to Cape Breton and “went into [JP’s] studio… and just played solidly for six hours, ate pizza and drank whisky”. The result was the remarkable album Once (released in 2018), perhaps so named because every track was recorded in a single take.
