Tim van Eyken

"One of the most intuitive musicians of his generation"

THE TIMES



.



"Tim van Eyken of Waterson:Carthy and Dr Faustus fame moves centre stage to re-ignite his solo career. A new deal with Topic Records and a long awaited album herald the arrival of a major new name on the folk scene. "Stiffs Lovers Holymen Thieves sees him slipping from traditionalism into the ghostly hinterland occupied by the likes of Alasdair Roberts and Will Oldham, where folk formalism meets the eerie textures of modern electronica to bring out the mix of death, lust, religion and hedonism that lies at the heart of folk." - James Eagle

THE MORNING STAR



.



"Tim van Eyken, who has spent several years with the Waterson:Carthy entourage, delivers a clarion call for tradition on his second solo album. Its eleven songs are, in Van Eyken’s words, ‘bound together by generations of story singers”, and his rich tenor maintains that heritage in impassioned style, while his band provide spare, melodic backings. The songs, by turns jaunty, tragic and romantic, eloquently tell the human story behind the England flag, bright May morns, dark deportations and all. A triumph." - Neil Spencer
