Tommy Sands, Co Down's singer, songwriter and social activist
has achieved something akin to legendary status in his own lifetime.
From the pioneering days with the highly influential Sands Family,
bringing Irish Music from New York's Carnegie Hall to Moscow's
Olympic Stadium, he has developed into one of the most powerful
songwriters and enchanting solo performers in Ireland today.
His
songwriting, which draws the admiration of Nobel Poet Laureate
Seamus Heaney and father of folk music Pete Seeger, prompts respected
US magazine Sing Out to regard him as "the most
powerful songwriter in Ireland, if not the rest of the world".
