Tommy Sands
Saturday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 PM Tommy Sands, Northern Ireland’s singer, songwriter and social activist, has achieved something akin to legendary status in his lifetime. From the pioneering days with the highly influential Sands Family, bringing Irish Music from New York's Carnegie Hall to Moscow's Olympic Stadium, he has developed into one of the most powerful songwriters and enchanting solo performers in Ireland today. His songwriting, which draws the admiration of Nobel Poet Laureate Seamus Heaney and father of folk music Pete Seeger, prompts Sing Out to regard him as "the most powerful songwriter in Ireland, if not the rest of the world". His songs, like There were Roses, and Daughters and Sons, have been recorded by Joan Baez, Kathy Matthea, Dolores Keane, Sean Keane, Frank Patterson, Dick Gaughan, The Dubliners and many others and have been translated worldwide. During the Good Friday Agreement Talks, his impromptu performance with a group of children and Lambeg drummers was described by Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon as "a defining moment in the Peace Process". |
NOTE: This concert is free. A virtual tip jar will be posted.
