Description
A breathtakingly powerful album by an outstanding young musician.
Tim Van Eyken is one of the most outstanding members of the new folk generation who have taken the folk tradition as inspiration and brought it bang up to date.
In 1998 he won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award and quickly gained a wealth of experience as a solo musician and member of Dr. Faustus, before joining Waterson:Carthy in time to record the stunning 'A Dark Light' album.
Tim collected a crack team of like-minded musicians to support him on his debut Topic album – Nancy Kerr, Oliver Knight, Pete Flood and Colin Fletcher. 'Stiffs Lovers Holymen Thieves' is an astonishing collection, full of striking inventive arrangements.
