"On a comparable stage I'd say he sits comfortably between Donal Lunny and Steve Cooney - yes, he's that good!" (Pete Fyfe, Folking.com)
"Many adjectives have been used to praise Tim Edey's prowess as a musician and more often than not the word 'multi' precedes them... Each track on The Collective is a mini-performance within itself and evokes swift emotive changes in tandem with a technical dexterity that is second to none. Talent oozes from every aspect and nuance of this album from the composition to the musicianship to the vocals and the common thread in all of these is Edey himself. Highly recommended."
