About Me

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE RECENT GIGS SO SPECIAL! Tony's latest album, the critically acclaimed "Galway" features 12 songs, all relating to the locality and he is currently at work on a new collection. Some of the newer material has a contemporary feel, keeping in touch with the integrity of the folk-tradition but adding a flavour of the new millennium. Describing himself as a troubadour who has taken his music all over the world, (This year so far he has rambled through Ireland, from Sherkin Island to Charlestown, Dingle to California, Berlin to Galway and points between.)Tony Small has been writing and singing since the 1960s. Current Album GALWAY available from me at [email protected] and Open Ear at info@ openear.ie and at The Crane Bar in Galway!If any of this makes sense or if you have suggestions, give me a shout!Contacts [email protected] 00353 86 8155257
