Tommy Fleming In Concert Sunday 28th March
Tommy Fleming – is Ireland’s biggest selling Irish artist over recent years .His “Voice of Hope” album was the number one selling CD and number two selling DVD in 2005/6. This success has been followed with a new studio album entitled“A Life Like Mine”, released under his new record label – Universal Music – the first of a recently signed five album deal and this album also went Platinum.His concerts are the biggest selling shows in venues throughout the entire island and these successes have come after 18 years of hard graft. One of those –“15 years to become an overnight success” scenarios!His latest project has been completed July ‘07 and is due for release in Ireland on October 26th 2007.
This album is called “ A Journey Home” and is also presented as CD / DVD recorded live at the INEC in Killarney (March 07) with a 23 piece orchestra, band and choir. It catalogues the “journey” of Irish music from Thomas Moore to U2.Tommy is also expanding to other territories having recently signed to Universal Classics & Jazz (UK) who have taken all of his back catalogue of recordings in addition to the recent albums.In this regard, he is now a stablemate of such luminaries as –Andreas Bocelli, Russell Watson, Catherine Jenkins, Leslie Garrett, Bryn Terfnell, Hayley Westerner and Dame Kiri Tae Kanawa. What an achievement – and incredible as this may seem, he has just completed his first recording with some of the above!
Tommy has been chosen by Universal to represent Ireland, as each of the above artists represents their country, in singing the IRB anthem “World in Union” for the Rugby World Cup.
