Tommy
Sands, from Northern Ireland, is renowned throughout the international
world of folk music as a steadfast supporter of the peace process and
trying world-wide to make our lives better through encouraging dialogue
to arrive at, "a better quality of disagreement", as Tommy puts it.
Described
as a 'social activist', Tommy travels widely carrying this message
everywhere through his disarmingly mild presence on stage fronting his
determination not to be deflected from what he believes in. Tommy is
unique in his expertise in song-writing and in presenting his songs to
quite diverse audiences from the Middle East to the USA via Europe
including of course the island of Ireland and the rest of the United
Kingdom.
Tommy
has appeared at New York's iconic Carnegie Hall and Madison Square
Gardens to Moscow's Olympic Stadium. He enjoys celebrity status in many
parts of the world, tempered by artistic integrity and the sorrow of
personal tragedy in his war torn homeland. Tommy has consequently become
one of Ireland's most powerful songwriters and enchanting performers.
He shares a vision with songwriters instigating social change such as
the late Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, and close friend the late Pete Seeger and
with the internationalists like the late Hamish Henderson from
Scotland.
