Tommy Sands, County Down's singer, songwriter, and social activist has achieved something akin to legendary status in his own lifetime. From the pioneering days with the highly influential Sands Family, bringing Irish Music from Carnegie Hall to Moscow's Olympic Stadium, he has developed into one of the most powerful songwriters and enchanting solo performers in Ireland today. His songwriting, which draws the admiration of Nobel Poet Laureate Seamus Heaney and father of folk music Pete Seeger, prompts respected U.S. magazine Sing Out to regard him as "the most powerful songwriter in Ireland, if not the rest of the world". His songs, like There were Roses and Daughters and Sons, which have been recorded by Joan Baez, Kathy Matthea, Dolores Keane, Sean Keane, Frank Patterson, Dick Gaughan, The Dubliners, and many others, have been translated into many languages and are currently included in the English language syllabus in German secondary schools. Mary McAleese, who was cast in a romantic role with Tommy in a local play just before she became President of the Irish Republic, has kept up the friendship and periodically calls upon him for advice on cultural events.
