Teilhard Frost & Jock Tyldesley

Teilhard Frost & Jock Tyldesley

A brand new duo with the best of old time music!

Teilhard and Jock found a shared love of Appalachian fiddle tunes around a full table, licking

plates and dancing in the kitchen. They’re both tall, rather polite, love great food and play

twin fiddles and occasional banjo, and who knows what else too!

Canadian musician and instrument maker, Teilhard (tay-YAR) Frost specialises in traditional

folk music with a focus on Appalachian old time music.  He has spent the last twenty years

touring with the sensational rag-time outfit Sheesham, Lotus, and ‘Son. Other work include

The Os project with Jason Mercer (Ani diFranco, Ron Sexsmith), The Complete Recordings of

Hezekiah Proctor with L'il Andy, Succeeder with Michael Duguay, Jenny Whiteley, Joey

Wright, and miles of studio session work for over 50 albums and film. He currently lives on

Wolfe Island in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border of Canada and the United

States. There he makes banjos, his supper and his bed.

Jock Tyldesley is perhaps best known for his fiddling in Cajun bands such as The Flatville

Aces and the Bearcats, as well as more off-the-wall antics with The New Rope String Band

and The Chipolatas.

He also nurtures a long-time passion for Southern Appalachian old time fiddle and banjo

tunes, whilst touring with his regular bands and US acts such as Eddie LeJeune, The Dirk

Powell Band, Sheryl Cormier, Martha Scanlan, Beverly Smith and Carl Jones and Balfa

Toujours.
