Tom McConville (Tickets on the Door)
About
Tickets still available on the door."Not only is Tom a fabulous fiddler and great singer, he defies gravity by performing them at the same time, whilst exuding oodles of winsome charm” Steve Tilston.
Winner of the BBC Folk Musician of the Year in 2009, Tom McConville is one of the most original fiddle players in the UK. Internationally renowned for his fiery, heart-stopping performances, blending traditional music from his home town of Newcastle with Irish, American and Scottish influences, he creates a sound that has jazz, folk, bluegrass and classical influence. His live performances are a roller coaster of musical delights; fast rhythmic dance tunes through beautiful slow airs and of course great singing – all presented with his inimitable sense of humour and style.
Come away with the tunes in your head, singing the choruses, and with the memory of an unforgettable show.
"One of the greatest violinists I’ve ever heard and by far the biggest influence in my music. A true master"
Seth Lakeman.
"I hold Tom McConville in the highest esteem and he is, in the tradition of fine musicians to come from Newcastle - a rare talent"
Barbara Dickson.
"I love to listen to Tom’s songs. A totally unique style. A great singer."
Dave Burland.
