Tim Perkins graduated from Trinity College of music in 1982 and has been active as a teacher, performer, and composer ever since. "My approach to instrumental tuition embraces folk and world music and improvisation whilst helping to develop a solid technique and a fundamental grasp of music theory." Tim uses the Trinity Guildhall board for exam purposes, and has just successfully completed an FTCL in composition and orchestration. He is now working towards a composition PhD at Birmingham Conservatoire.

Fiddle demon and resident charmer Tim plays a unique combination of Folk jazz and classical styles… delivered with an electric punch. He is creator of long established band ’Finality Jack’ who have produced 2 Cds and performed at many major folk festivals including Sidmouth, Ely, Cheltenham, Richmond and Ellesmere. He has also toured several European and Scandinavian countries as a session fiddle player clocking up hundreds of gigs over the last 20 years. His wife Susie thinks he is the best fiddler in the band.

Tim has been playing violin for most of his life, and is happy teaching advanced students and complete beginners alike, (all ages welcome!). "As far back as I can remember to my school days I've enjoyed a wide variety of musical styles which I have employed as a performer, playing electric violin in bands from the age of 16 with considerable experience in folk/ jazz/ rock/ avant garde mediums, I have toured all over Scandinavia as a session player, and Spain and Portugal with my own band 'Finality Jack', which produced two critically acclaimed albums and featured in several major UK folk/ world music festivals. I have also just written and produced a tune book, 'Fardello' for violinists at grade 3 - 4 standard, and have also arranged it for flute. New material is currently being worked on and a second book in the pipeline!
