Penguin Eggs Magazine, Edmonton, AB, Canada
British-Canadian folk songsmith Tim Readman is an ideal choice as a performer in any folk music venue. As a solo act he has developed his own definitive style and sensibility that incorporates a genuine feel for traditional music with a rare ability to play in many contemporary styles. He has an infectious sense of humour and a real ability to engage an audience that makes him a great concert performer, workshop host and participant. His energetic, witty, passionate and personable style makes him a superb main stage MC and compere. As a band leader he can transform his solo repertoire into a driving danceable folk/roots concoction.

Celtic Connection
Emerging from the same North-Eastern English folk scene as Jez Lowe, Vin Garbutt, and Bob Fox he earned a reputation as an outstanding songwriter, guitarist, singer and interpreter of traditional and contemporary folk songs. Since moving to Canada he has emerged from a varied musical as a folk singer with strong and binding musical and cultural roots. With his first solo CD Into the Red, he became recognised as one of today''s most promising songwriters. He''s been composing since he was 15 years old, and the 11 tracks that comprise Into the Red showcase his ability to write and perform traditional-sounding songs as well as those with a more contemporary flavour. He is scheduled to go into the studio in November of 2003 to start work on his next CD.
