Tom McConville Band
Primarily known as the Newcastle fiddler, this virtuoso musician and fantastic singer delivers a performance that combines a rollercoaster of musical delights with fast, rhythmic dance tunes through beautiful slow airs and of course, great singing-all presented with his inimitable sense of humour and style. Whilst he has shared stages throughout the world with the very best in the business, Tom has never forgotten his roots and is as happy in the intimate atmosphere of a small folk club as he is at the largest festivals.
