Tommy Fleming set for The Braid

Born in County Sligo, Tommy was always destined for a career in music having started singing while still at school.

While fronting his own local band, it was a chance meeting with Phil Coulter which gave Tommy his first big break when Phil asked him to guest on his tour of America. This led to Tommy establishing himself as a solo singer in his own right.

After 20 years honing his craft, Tommy is now taking his place at the forefront of popular music across the globe. The mere mention of a Tommy Fleming concert has 'sold out' signs being displayed at venues from Dublin to Darwin within the space of minutes and he is recognised across the world as one of the finest singers of his generation.

Appealing to all ages, musical tastes and cultures, audiences have now recognised Tommy Fleming as a truly unique talent.

But the fact remains that Tommy Fleming is his own man, delivering song after song – each more haunting than the next.

Be it a cover version or his own original material, Tommy Fleming's velvet-toned voice makes each one his own.

Tommy will be performing at The Riverside Theatre, Coleraine on Thursday, September 9 and The Braid, Ballymena on Friday, September 10. Tickets are available from the Riverside Theatre Box Office on 028 7032 3232 or from The Braid Box Office on 028 25635 900, 028 25635 901 and 028 25635 902.
