Described as a “literary raconteur” and a “virtuoso,”1 Tim Rayborn admits to nothing, but it’s true that he’s a versatile writer, award-winning editor, and an acclaimed musician.

He’s written dozens of books, appeared on more than forty recordings, plays scores of unusual instruments, and visited five continents.

With interests ranging from British history and Northern mythologies to strange-but-true facts, from medieval and Middle Eastern music to Fantasy/Sci-Fi culture, from dance and theatre to 20th-century English composers and dark ambient music, there’s probably something in his generous output for everyone.2

Sign up on his mailing list, like his Facebook page, and/or follow him on Instagram, and maybe he’ll tell you about the time he fell off a stage…

1. However, he’s also been called a “golden god” at an event, and “the hot date” in a newspaper calendar listing, so you have to take these things with a pretty large grain of salt.

2. Unless you’re into Baby Metal or Astacology (look it up)… sorry!
