Another of Ireland's 'best kept secrets', Tommy stretches his repertoire more than most so that on the double-pack of 35 songs he smoothly moves from the 'Irish' of 'A Song For Ireland' and 'Only Our Rivers Run Free' to the 'International' of ' The Sounds of Silence' and 'Love Is All Around'.
Always tastefully done and passionately sung, he's not a million miles from, say, Mick Hucknall (but not in repertoire if you see what we mean!)
