Tommy was a great friend and mentor for over 30 years of Howard Music

Poor Tommy, sorry to hear that. I happened to think of him yesterday and wondered how he was doing.
I spend a good bit of time with him over the years, a true gentleman.
Sad to hear this news. He was a true gentleman. RIP
Ach thats sad.I enjoyed his gentle company a few years back.Rest well .

Very sorrow to hear of his passing. I never met him and dont know too much about him.Apart from being a piper was he involved in the piping world in other ways?
RORY
He taught quite a lot of pipers from the South East (Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny), including Jimmy O’Brien-Moran and David Power, to mention but two.
Sad news . I remember meeting him at miltown malbey , he was with Brian Howard and another gentleman , I was able to learn alot about reeds that is well worth passing on to others .
