A legend in his own lifetime :
Tommy Peoples is visiting the South East of England, June 2007.

With nearly a month still to go, Valmai Goodyear of Lewes Folk Club in Sussex writes :

"A quick note to confirm that Tommy's daytime workshop
and evening performance at the Lewes Arms are both sold out.
I am keeping a waiting list in case of cancellations ..."

However the good news is that there are still tickets for
both the Fiddle Workshop and Concert, on the 10th June,
at the Littlbourne Thatched Barn, near Canterbury, in Kent.

Fiddlers Various 2007 - Tommy Peoples - 9th June, Sussex & 10th June, Kent.

Master Irish fiddler Tommy Peoples from Donegal has accepted an invitation from KentFolk to visit the South East of England in the Summer of 2007, as a Fiddlers Various special event.
Tommy Peoples is, quite simply, a living legend, the greatest exponent of the driving Donegal style which is his hallmark.   Tommy Peoples was an early member of the Bothy Band, and has recorded numerous CDs. His remarkable self-produced CD " The Quiet Glen" (1998) earned him Ireland's highest accolade as "Traditional Musician of the Year", the first person to be so honored by the Irish Government. Catharine Kingcome, who has painted many Irish musicians in addition to a picture about Tommy, and is a fiddler herself, says of Tommy : "in my opinion probably the best trad Irish fiddle player there's ever been". For myself, I hear a complexity and detail in his playing that I have not heard elsewhere.In spite of this he is an intensely modest man.
