Sniff...

Hate to lose anyone but a bluesman, at least for me, is always just a little harder...

Oh wow. I met Tam when I lived in Scotland in 1997 and got to know him a wee bit. He was an amazing musician and also a really nice guy. He will be sorely missed.

Sad news indeed. I remember him from the Boston Dexters in the r'n'b 60s and was hoping to see him when he played Dunfermline again.
RIP Tam

Introduced to Tam when my bruv took me to see him with the Dexters in Embra afew years ago. Fast forward to a trio playing in Sheffield at the old Harlequin. Sheffield' legendary Frank White even made an appearance to see him. A great talent

Coincidentally, I've just finished watching a recently purchased DVD copy of the 1987 BBC series "Tutti Frutti" - in which Tam's voice was used as the singing voice of the deceased rocker James "Big Jazza" McGlone. He was a great singer. Saw him not many years ago at a pub in Shoreham in Sussex, and he gave a wonderful performance. RIP.

A great shame, wonderful voice. I thought his version of Burns Slaves Lament was fabulous. Didn't he do a spell in the Scot soap River City?
Condolences to his family

Seems to have been effects of a heart attack. He was on the bill at Loanhead Music Festival only 2 weekends ago.
