“When Pennsylvania folks think of traditional music, perhaps the first name that comes to mind is Irish folksinger, musician, and entertainer, Gerry Timlin.
And it's no wonder...”
A great favorite in the USA and Canada, the Pennsylvania based singer has enjoyed success all over the world. Gerry was born in Ireland where he developed an early interest in traditional Irish music and, from a young age, he displayed a natural musical talent. Over the years, Gerry's love of music expanded to include Scottish, American, Canadian, and Australian folk music as well. He moved to the USA in the early seventies, where he has been delighting audiences with his rich baritone vocals, instrumental talent, and his irreverent humorever since. He has been playing his special brand of folk music before adoring audiences for more than four decades in Ireland and the British Isles, the United States and Canada.
His latest and grandest venture to date was the opening of his own restaurant, The Shanachie Irish Pub in downtown Ambler PA in the fall of 2004. He now performs there regularly as a soloist and with Tom Kane, his singing partner of over 30 years. In addition to Timlin and Kane, many wonderful performers grace the stage at The Shanachie with a weekly Traditional Session Night and Pub Quiz Night kicking off each week's entertainment. Gerry's cheerful smile and hearty handshake are as much a part of the atmosphere as the warm smells from the traditional Irish fare as well as the new creations coming from the kitchen. Even if it is your first visit to The Shanachie Irish Pub and Restaurant, Gerry welcomes you as if you were an old friend.
