Visit makem.com for many more details of where Tommy, and also his sons, The Makem Brothers, are playing. The family has a recording studio in the basement of Tommy's home in Dover (NH), and has put out several compact disks, recently, on their own Red Biddy label. Ancient Pulsing is greatly recommended. It is a collection of poetry superbly recited by Tommy Makem, to musical accompaniment, and includes Patrick Kavanagh's "Pegasus" -reason alone to consider the purchase. It must also be noted that The Brothers, (Shane, Rory and Conor Makem), are very much worth seeing in their own right, and, with their love of folk lore and great senses of humor, are sure to keep the family's tradition alive for decades to come. Very heartening!
