  • “Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy Is One of Ireland’S Top Entertainers with Over 6.5 Million Youtube Hits and Over 3.5 Million Album Sales Worldwide
    TOMMY FLEMING BIOGRAPHY With his powerfully distinctive voice, Tommy Fleming has been described as the “Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy is one of Ireland’s top entertainers with over 6.5 million YouTube hits and over 3.5 million album sales worldwide. The youngest of six children, Tommy was born in 1971 in Aclare, County Sligo. His natural singing ability was evident at a young age whilst participating in local talent competitions. While still at school, Tommy formed his first rock band, The Face of February, and embarked on gigging in local pubs. After leaving school Tommy joined a quartet, Jarog, gaining a legion of fans. However, despite this success, record companies weren’t exactly knocking on Tommy’s door. Then a chance encounter with renowned producer and composer Phil Coulter changed all that. In July 1993, Phil heard Tommy performing at a charity event in Westport, County Mayo. Within days Tommy was guesting with Phil and his orchestra at the Opera House (Cork), the National Concert Hall (Dublin) and The University Concert Hall (Limerick). Four months later he was playing to huge audiences across the US and Canada, culminating in two shows in the Boston Symphony Hall and the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York. Tommy’s career then took another leap forward when he was invited by Galway traditional group De Danann, to join them as lead vocalist, following in the footsteps of living legends as Mary Black, Maura O’Connell, Dolores Keane and Paul Brady. The collaboration lasted three years and introduced Tommy to a worldwide audience touring Australia, Hong Kong, China and the US.

  • Unsent Love Letters Meditations on Erik Satie
    ELENA KATS-CHERNIN unsent love letters meditations on Erik Satie TAMARA-ANNA CISLOWSKA PIANO The sound of dreams on velvet In this age where no-one has any time, diaries are chock-a-block, schedules bursting and calendars stuffed, it could be said that what is missing is the space to miss things, even space. This album is a first step to redressing some of the balance between the time to think that we know we don’t have, and the frenzy of saving the dates, must-dos and urgent deadlines. I would like to suggest we wind back the clock a moment, or throw out the clock. Taking Satie’s life and work as a central theme, the album is a collection of personal ruminations from Elena Kats-Chernin on the great eccentric Erik Satie. You could think of it as a musical memoir from one composer to another. A folding and unfolding of Elena’s thoughts and observations. The 26 pieces outline the concerns, convictions and loves of a man who was sensitive, singular and contradictory. He was also brilliant, unguarded and unconventional, and able to mix the devil-may-care with the stiff-upper-lip. Satie’s life was a fascinating, fervoursome affair; from the first strike of love and then lifelong estrangement with artist and muse Suzanne Valadon, to the unexpected celebrity and conflict of his last ten years. After he died, friends gaining access to his apartment, for the first time in almost three decades, found conditions both perplexing and romantically fastidious in their own way: two grand pianos one atop the other, one chair, one table, seven velvet suits and the love letters – many, many unsent love letters.
