Enjoy a great evening of song and chat with Tommy Sands

-

Just mention the name Tommy Sands and you can be sure the eyes light up of those who have heard his songs.

Tommy is the very welcome guest at Irvine Folk Club on Wednesday, September 16.

He is doing only five Scottish dates on this tour and Irvine is very fortunate to have secured one of them.

The term ‘ internatio­nally renowned’ is a term used a great deal, but it really does apply to Tommy Sands.

Born in Mayobridge in Northern Ireland, Tommy Sands is a singer, a songwriter, radio broadcaste­r and social activist.

As part of the well- known Sands Family, he played in venues from the Carnegie Hall to Moscow’s Olympic Stadium.

As a solo artist, Tommy engages audiences with his songs and stories and his charm. The University of Nevada awarded him an Honorary Doctorate for his outstandin­g work as a musician and ambassador for peace and understand­ing.

Tommy is involved in peace concerts, lectures, school programmes, workshops and in all of them he shares his songs and their message of tolerance and peace.

On Wednesday, September 16, at the Irvine Club, Tommy will captivate the audience with his musical skills and his songs of encouragem­ent, enlightene­d ideas and the joy of living.

Make sure you are in the audience at Vineburgh Community Centre in Quarry Road.

The Club starts at 8pm and it’s BYOB so come along and have a great night in great company, with great music.
