    “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.

In that way we can keep the resolution of the photos high and the size of both sections will be less than one megabyte. Part one is the magazine section and part two is the weekend roundup. The three Cup Finals in Croke Park provided some fine hurling but the crowd was just under 4,000 so it is probably back to the drawing board for those finals. Each needs to be played as a curtain raiser to a game from the Liam McCarthy Championship to create the right atmosphere. The Munster Final had patches of fine hurling and some fine individual displays but lacked the intensity of former classics. Both teams Tipperary and Waterford are continu - ing to make progress. Tipperary still look the best challenger to the champions but Wa - terford battled with heart and could yet make a final four berth. Best wishes ‘til next week from Hurling World. FEATURE Mickey ‘The Rattler’Byrne Issue 11 July 13th 2009 p 3 Rattle ‘em Mickey! Mickey ‘The Rattler’ Byrne from Thurles Sarsfields, held down the right fullback position for Tipperary for 12 championship seasons between 1949 and 1960 and was a substitute on the All-Ireland winning team of 1945.

    SECRETARY's REPORT 2010 the Highlight For

    SECRETARY’S REPORT 2010 The highlight for us all in 2010 was undoubtedly the ‘Down Journey’ which brought a new sense of excitement and expectation that has been missing in the County for a long time. Thanks to everyone involved, particularly the Clonduff lads on the panel – Aidan, Jason and Darren. On the Club front, there were many and varied successes reflecting the inclusive nature of the Clonduff Structures. Clonduff fielded teams in the four field sports and was well represented in Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear and successfully competed in the Handball leagues. County titles were achieved in Senior Camogie (separate report), Adult Hurling, U15 Óg Spoirt Football, U14 Football, Set Dancing, Novelty Act, Senior, Junior and Juvenile Handball. Our young people represented the Club at National Congress (Youth Delegate and Entertainment), National Youth Forum and the Down Fundraising ventures, and almost eighty of our young people were involved in the successes of their respective educational establishments with Cathal Murray at the helm in St Colman’s, Mark Copeland in SRC, Lorraine Maginn in St Mark’s and Ryan McShane in University of Liverpool. There are up on a dozen former Clonduff players expounding the skills of Gaelic Games at varying levels to other clubs. One of the most disappointing aspects in Clonduff life was our inability to provide meaningful games for the young girls who wanted to play Ladies Football – the U12 games were scheduled for the same day as the U12 Camogie and the U16 team was entered in the highest league and in their first round games found themselves totally demoralized and the team was withdrawn.

  • 2 Field of Dreams

    2 Field of Dreams

    2 FIELD OF DREAMS Sunday,FIELD OF DREAMS 15 July 1984. There were just five minutes left. The swaying, heaving, seething Tipperary crowd could almost taste the triumph. It had been thirteen long years since their last victory over the old enemy to the south. Many of the schoolchildren now screaming themselves hoarse around Semple Stadium couldn’t even remember a time when Tipperary were Munster champions, let alone All-Ireland holders. And yet glory now beckoned – and the sweet intoxication of beating Cork. Around the ground a slow hum of anticipation began to build – a living, breathing homage to Raymond Smith’s famous declaration that there was no sporting cathedral in the world like Thurles on a Munster championship Sunday. Fans tore their eyes away from the pitch to desperately check the time. Not long now. Yet in almost every blue-and-gold stomach a tight knot of icy apprehension defied the logic of time. ‘There isn’t time for Cork to come back – is there?’ A few fans were worried by the thought: Tipperary, after all, had themselves beaten Clare in the semi-final four weeks before, thanks to a last-minute Liam Maher goal after a penalty had been won by Nicky English. Ger Loughnane’s Clare were two points up and apparently destined for the Munster final, with the clock running down, when Tipp struck. But Tipp fans took heart from the sight of the Cork crowd, dozens of whom were now giving up the match for lost and streaming towards their cars and the train station in a bid to beat the traffic.
