Tommy Flemming

Friday, March 14, 2008

Red-haired Irish tenor Tommy Fleming rose to fame and success in storybook fashion. The County Sligo native began singing in local talent competitions, formed his own rock band, packed in pub and club fans throughout Ireland, and was fortuitously discovered in the 1990s by a record producer. Since then, he’s sung twice in Carnegie Hall. Despite breaking his neck in an auto accident in the late 90s, he’s become known as “the Voice of Ireland” and is Ireland’s biggest-selling Irish artist. Because of his full schedule of UK engagements, it’s a genuine coup to have booked him for the D’Angelo Center — three days before St. Patrick’s Day!
