Hi Sean, sorry for the late response. I took a short hiatus on my blog because I was promoted. Tom told me about his days playing in Ireland, he was quite a hit. There’s quite a country music scene in New York. You can find Tom at 2A Bar http://2abar.com Lower East Side if you ever visit. Cheers!

I saw Tom, many years ago. He played in a bar called The Meeting Place in Middleton in Cork, Ireland. He had such a level of energy which he put into his performance. I went to see his next show the following night and was amazed to see him do it all over again.

I go to quite a lot of gig but this was memorable. Since then, I’ve begun songwriting and playing – nothing like Tom but often wondered what had become of him. I heard him on a radio documentary podcast. It was a program about Jeff Buckley and google brought me here.

Thanks for the post and hello to Tom from Ireland if you run into him again.

It’s great that you ‘expose’ these hidden artists like Tom. The music scene is much more than just what we are used to hearing on the radio and in concerts. I always wondered how musicians made a living, especially those who were not involved with Hollywood gigs.
