We enjoyed a lovely gig in Tulla tonight where a
Elder statesman of contemporary Irish Singer songwriting Thom Moore ( not to be confused with the other prodigious Thomas Moore, 18th century songwriter of many classic Irish songs)* was joined by young Australian singer Aminah Hughs and multi instrumentalist Shamie O Dowd . The group threaded their way through a range of tuneful material , mostly original taking turns to introduce and lead a number and offering sympathetic support to each other's selections. The mix was eclectic opening with a Robbie Burns song and finishing with A Rory Gallagher number As the Crow Flies which had the mature bespectacled , bearded brigade if not exactly rocking in the aisles at least humming along mouthing the lyrics and smiling to one another at the shared reminiscence .
