  • “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.

  • Beethoven: Symphony No 9 “Choral” – Australian World Orchestra Posted on April 16, 2014 by Barry Walmsley
    Beethoven: Symphony No 9 “Choral” – Australian World Orchestra Posted on April 16, 2014 by Barry Walmsley Australian World Orchestra Sydney Philharmonia Choir Conductor: Alexander Briger ABC 481 0550 The scale of a work such as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is truly staggering. Whilst the work has been overused for civic celebratory events, the concert experience (and this recording, which originates from a live concert in the Sydney Opera House) is something that can touch listeners in profound ways. The complexity of the music is only equalled by its challenging compositional ideas, along with the treatment of text (by Schiller), and the fusion of what, for the most part, are incompatibles, that is, the choral and the symphonic idiom. Structurally, the work is really a set of variations, showing a total connection from beginning to end. These totally new elements (the unconventional symphonic layout and the use of words within a symphony) helped to underline, in the public’s mind, that Beethoven had truly gone mad. This particular recording emanated from one of the most exciting of recent concert events, the inaugural season by the newly created Australian World Orchestra, an initiative to bring together the finest of Australian orchestral musicians from around the country and across the world. Thus, it saw players return from such illustrious orchestras as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, Chicago and London Symphonies, the Concertgebouw and Gewandhaus, to be part of this concept orchestra. Bringing the whole project together, as its artistic and musical director, was conductor Alexander Briger, who has established himself on the world stage as one of the new dynamic conductors of this era.

  • John Russell's Experience
    John Russell’s experience John Russell, Soldiers’ Band member 1972–1974 from the UK has fond memories of his time in Ballarat. I started my involvement in music at a young age. First, trying the violin at about three years of age and taught by my father who was a good amateur violinist. In fact I really do not remember learning to read music; it just happened. Several years were spent at the piano and finally the cornet and trumpet. I played with an assortment of bands in and around my home town of Northampton both pure brass and also big bands for dances. All the time listening and learning from those around me. Finally I was off to uni to become a teacher with interests in both science and maths. Whilst in College Hall I met up with a fellow student and was introduced the ‘A’ Grade band sponsored by Watneys Brewery. The two guys that ran this band, Albert Meek (MD for the Royal Scots Greys) and its principal cornet Gwynne Price were also tutors at the army school of music, Kneller Hall, and were valuable contributors to my development as a player. I certainly had several interesting years with this band. However, in contesting terms there was another band in London that always seem to make top spot: Hanwell Silver Band. In due course I got invited to join Hanwell on soprano cornet and spent the rest of my time in England with them. Yes, many ‘A’ Grade contests were won and a number of recordings made.
