About Me

I started playing music back in the 70s, as a trumpet player with the show bands. Had great fun with musicians like Richie Buckley (an amazing sax player) etc. I now enjoy playing guitar & singing (a thing i never thought I would do) in the Irish trad scene. I released my first cd this year (Songs & Music from Ireland) with the help of one of Ireland's best fiddle players, Mr, Brenden P, Lynch. I am normally found playing in venues around Dublin (Temple Bar) etc most nights of the week with some of Ireland's best musicians. My son Stephen is turning out to be a great musician, he plays uilleann pipes / flute & whistle, I think he has a great future ahead of him, (check him out on myspace under the name...tradstevie.) Along the way I have received great help & support from many of the musicians in the Dublin trad scene to numerous to mention... Thanks a mil lads........................ ..............................Tom............... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
