Thomas McCarthy is a singer from an Irish Traveller family in Birr, County Offaly. From a considerable dynasty of traditional singers, song-makers and musicians, Thomas grew up surrounded by the singing of his late mother, her father and aunts and uncles and now lives in London. Having spent his life learning the songs of his family, in 2008 Thomas sang publicly for the first time at the folk club at London's Cecil Sharp House.


By the following year, he had sung at the most prominent folk festivals and clubs in Ireland and England, appeared on BBC Radio, and has since shared a stage with many well known performers including Lou Killen and The Copper Family and has won the praises of many other respected musicians besides.

Thomas McCarthy is the real deal. He is a mighty singer with a store of wonderful songs. His unique voice and style reflect his exposure to an ancient and rich oral tradition. His CD 'Round Top Wagon' is well worth having and will return the investment with interest.

I'd love to be there.

Wish I could be there. Please give him my regards. We met at the East Anglian Traditional Folk Day. He's a great singer, and a nice man.
