Biography
Tommy Fleming is an Irish singer born on May 15, 1971 in Aclare, County Sligo. Renowned for his powerful, expressive voice, he has established himself as one of the leading interpreters of traditional Irish songs and contemporary ballads. After starting to sing in his native region as a teenager, he was spotted in the early 1990s by composer Phil Coulter, with whom he began a decisive collaboration. Their joint tour opened the doors to a national career, thanks in particular to his acclaimed renditions of classics such as "The Isle of Innisfree" and "Danny Boy". In 1996, a serious car accident brought his career to an abrupt halt, but he returned to the stage two years later, strengthened by the ordeal. His first solo album, Restless Spirit (1995), followed by Sand and Water (1997) and Restless Spirit (1998), established his reputation as a popular yet demanding performer. He went on to enjoy international success with The Contender (2000) and, above all, Voice of Hope (2005), recorded live in Knock Cathedral, which marks a turning point in his career for its orchestral scope and emotional impact. Fleming stands out for his ability to revisit traditional songs while integrating modern compositions, oscillating between folk, pop and Celtic music. His other landmark albums include The Best Is Yet to Come (2005), A Journey Home (2007), Begin (2013), Stories (2016), Voice of Hope II (2018) and the compilation All These Year's (2021), celebrating his twenty-five-year career. He has performed in many prestigious venues around the world, including New York's Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House. In 2025, eleven years after his last album of original songs, Sing Me Back Home was released.
