A DARLING of Ireland and an international music star will bring the shamrock spirit to Bristol in time for St Patrick’s Day next month.
Tommy Fleming may not be a household name in Britain but in the United States and Australia has gained fans aplenty and been widely praised by the legendary Eric Clapton.
His beautiful mix of classic and contemporary styles makes him entertaining to any music lover and explains how he has gone on to record 13 multi-platinum albums to date.
Tommy will open his nationwide tour at the Colston Hall in Bristol on March 10 but things could have been very different.
When he was younger he narrowly avoided death following a car crash that broke his neck and threatened to stop him singing ever again.
Thankfully after months of rehabilitation he was able to recover and will embark on the tour which commemorates his 20 years in the business.
Tickets, priced £21-24, are available from the box office on 0117 9223686 or online at www.colstonhall.org
