It was with great sadness that I heard yesterday of the death of that lovely man, Tommy Boyle of Rotherham, South Yorkshire. A a great Irish traditional singer and flute player, as well as one of the nicest people one could hope to meet. Tommy will be sadly missed by all who knew him and the folk world will be a lesser place without him. He was one of the finest people to walk the face of this earth. Condolences to Kath and family.

I picked up this thread only today and am saddened at the news. Tommy was a real gentleman who reached into the heart of everyone who knew him, as well as being a fine singer and musician. A great loss indeed. Farewell to a woderful man.

I knew Tommy years ago and feel great sadness that this fine gentle man has left us.

Good news for Heaven Folk Club I suppose.
