Tommy Sands - Live at Eckford Village Hall

THURSDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2025 - doors 7:30pm

Tickets: £12.00 (£10.00 usual concessions)

Tommy Sands, from Northern Ireland, is renowned throughout the international world of folk music as a steadfast supporter of the peace process and trying world-wide to make our lives better through encouraging dialogue to arrive at, "a better quality of disagreement", as Tommy puts it.

Described as a 'social activist', Tommy travels widely carrying this message everywhere through his disarmingly mild presence on stage fronting his determination not to be deflected from what he believes in. Tommy is unique in his expertise in song-writing and in presenting his songs to quite diverse audiences from the Middle East to the USA via Europe including of course the island of Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom.

Tommy has appeared at New York's iconic Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Gardens to Moscow's Olympic Stadium. He enjoys celebrity status in many parts of the world, tempered by artistic integrity and the sorrow of personal tragedy in his war torn homeland. Tommy has consequently become one of Ireland's most powerful songwriters and enchanting performers. He shares a vision with songwriters instigating social change such as the late Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, and close friend the late Pete Seeger and with the internationalists like the late Hamish Henderson from Scotland.
