He is currently touring the U.S. through Patrick's Day and was at New York's Town Hall last Thursday night and Philadelphia tonight, Sunday. He has a web page at
www.tommyfleming.net
I was on the same bill as him in a festival 2 years ago, bit of a prima-donna if you ask me? He did not want to be on stage and it came across to the audience!
One of is albums is a cracker (don't remember which), didn't like his whole Knock shrine phase, (something felt disingenuous about it?)
As you can see i've mixed feelings about him, when he's well produced i think he's a great recording artist though.

I was lucky enough to hear Tommie years back singing with De Dannan at the Jazz cafe in London.

He really moved me. Does anyone know what he's up to these days? I hope he's still singing.

He was at the ICONS Festival [www.iconsfestival.com] last August -- heard him in passing, and he sounded in top form.

Re: Tommie Fleming
Thanks for the information. His web page didn't come up when I googled him. Why's that? I'm glad he's going strong anyway. Lovely voice.

Re: Tommie Fleming
Great voice, but he makes me cringe. Sorry.

Re: Tommie Fleming
Has a wonderful voice, but overdoes the vibrato.
