Profile

Hometown:: Midleton, Cork

About Me:: Just started a new séisiún Sundays 8.30 in the Midleton Park Hotel with Ronan on banjo and Fiona on fiddle, calling ourselves Rapscallion. Max Gittings sits in occasionally and features on some of the recordings playings whistles and flute.

My guitar was made to my specifications by Ciarán de Loughry of Cobh, and I love it - walnut back and sides, cedar top and mahogany neck, the timber for the neck was reclaimed from the banister of a demolished hotel in Cobh at least 150 years old, all other timber is from sustainable sources

I record and mix the music myself using AKG 1000 and Rode NT1 mikes, Line6 UX2 Toneport, n-Track Studio and Audacity software, Alesis Proactive 2.0 monitors and Fujitsu laptop 1.7gig, 500m ram but I'm not sure if its good enough, may have to upgrade

I have a terrible memory for the names of tunes, so please forgive the lack of info on the tunes in my playlist - I will add this information as I go along, thanks for your patience

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I was a photographer for a short while, taking pics for a regional paper and held a small exhibition too

Website:: http://www.myspace.com/rapscalliontrad

Favorite Music:: Irish Trad, Beatles, Cohen, Dylan and many others

Favorite TV Shows:: Dr. Who, Coronation St, the X Factor...

Favourite Place?: behind a guitar

At 8:07pm on May 5th, 2008, Jennifer said…: Grand Tom ! Very good voice Tom !!! Your music is top-notch, very professional. You'll be going places, that's for sure. Your voice sounds a bit like "Marty Robbins" ( a country western singer from the 1960's, here in the States, and one of my personal favorites.) Anyway, keep the faith, and thanks for sharen your wonderful music...
