TIM O'SHEA

is from Killarney in the south west of Ireland. He has been working solo, and in several bands since the late 1980's. Tim's repertoire draws from the dance music of his native Sliabh Luachra and West Kerry folk traditions and the singing of Irish and Scottish performers like Jimmy McCarthy, Paul Brady, Dick Gaughan and Andy M. Stewart.

Tim has toured the USA, Australia, New Zealand, & Europe. Since 1992,  (20 years in 2011, see gigs & tours page for more), Tim has annually toured Germany with CIAR, GREEN LANE, and BRICêN.

In 1995 Tim guested on the second CD of Monks of the Screw (Sliabh Luachra traditional music group).
To mark “15 years on the road”, Tim launched a collection of 15 tracks, some new &  remastered recordings in October 2006.  “15 Times Around” has received very favourable reviews from Ireland, USA, UK, Germany and Sweden.
The launch of the new studio CD 'Lake of Learning' took place at the Gathering festival on Feb 29th 2004. The CD features four reed instruments uilleann pipes, accordion concertina and clarinet. Tim has two compositions, a song and an instrumental on this new CD and together with dance music from Sliabh Luachra and Co. Clare in the south west of Ireland this new Cd is the best one.
