The legendary Big Tom, born 18th September 1936, still singing on 26th July 2013! This video was recorded in the Dolmen Hotel in Carlow as Big Tom performed to a capacity audience of admiring fans. He came on the stage at 10:30 with his band, the Mainliners, and remained there until 01:00 with just a short break for a "cup of tea".
This video was recorded on a hand-held Lumix Panasonic DMC-TZ30 camera - in difficult conditions due to the massive crowd constantly swaying to the music as they crowded around the stage!
