Over the years it fell to Tom to communicate the news of the sad passing of such greats as Geordie Hanna and Junior Crehan to the irremediably out-of-touch such as myself. It somehow doesn't seem right now to be told of his own passing, especially when it's a machine doing the telling.
Profound condolences Annette, Colm, Tara, Éadaoin. Miltown, Clare, Ireland and the World are much the poorer for his loss, but what a treasury of song and happy memories he has left behind him.
Meanwhile the sessions up above are just getting better all the time!
