Thomas McCarthy - Irish Traveller, Singer and StorytellerI sing wherever I’m invited, at clubs, festivals, people’s houses, weddings, funerals, christenings, at home, down the road and over the sea. I have sung all over the UK and Europe. I have sung at festivals including Whitby Folk Week, Sidmouth FolkWeek, the Fife Traditional Singing Festival, Brosella Folk & Jazz Festival (Belgium),  the South Roscommon Singers festival (Knockcroghery) and the Frank Harte Festival (Dublin) – where I shared a stage with Christy Moore.

I have been invited to folk clubs including the Cellar Upstairs, Walthamstow Folk Club, the Musical Traditions club and the An Goilin club in Dublin. I have toured with Ron Kavana and Sam Lee, all around England, Scotland, Wales and Europe.
