BAND MEMBERS
|
TIM CODY - Guitar and Vocals
Growing up in a large, musically talented family, music was central to Tim’s upbringing. He honed his craft as a songwriter and musician by performing at family and community events from an early age. Later in life, Tim started a duo and spent several years gigging around the Brisbane pub scene before eventually forming the band Limerick. This allowed him to fulfil his true passion for Celtic music and embrace his Irish roots. As a second-generation Irishman, Tim fondly remembers listening to the old Irish ballads his father would regularly play on vinyl — a sound that has shaped him into the artist he is today. In addition to playing guitar, leading vocals, and writing songs for Limerick, Tim also manages the band, successfully launching Limerick into the mainstream as its popularity continues to grow. His passion and drive led the band to win the 2020 Australian Celtic Music Award for Best New Talent. Tim brings energy, joy, and character to the band, contributing to the unique sound that is Limerick. |

PAUL "RABBIT" ROBINSON - Fiddle and Vocals
A child strings prodigy, Rabbit began his musical journey at age 7, joining the Gold Coast Youth Orchestra. By 15, he had progressed to the Queensland Youth Orchestra, and at 17, he was touring the UK and Europe. Among his many achievements, Rabbit is a four-time winner of the Tamworth Country Music Golden Fiddle Awards. He’s the former fiddler for the Round Mountain Girls, has performed with Australian legend John Williamson, and is the founder of the Tweed District Youth Orchestra. Rabbit is Limerick’s newest member: a joy to be around and a real character on and off stage. With the fiddle as Limerick’s lead instrument, he provides the energy and drive that make the band’s performances truly stand out. We’ll leave it to your imagination why he’s called “Rabbit”! |
