Tom's
‘Northern swing fiddle’ combines Scots/Donegal styles, with Newcastle hornpipes
a speciality. He has a lovely flowing style, beautiful tone &
faultless technique, & is a also a fine singer with a powerful yet mellow
voice. He has played with Bob Fox, Kieran Halpin, his own band Dabhand,
Alistair Anderson’s Syncopace, Barbara Dixon, Phil Cunningham, Richard Thompson,
Chris Newman & Pauline Cato & recently to great acclaim with his own Tom
McConville Band featuring Claire Mann & Aaron Jones. He's an
inspiration for the new generation of musicians including Seth Lakeman &
Kate Rusby & will perform tonight with young guitar virtuoso David Newey
(not to be missed).
In
addition to all this he has been nominated for BBC Folk Musician of The Year
& is in great demand as a teacher to both younger & older players. He
loves the fiddle with a great passion & sharing his music with others is his
life's work.
The
workshop will feature Irish, Scots & Newcastle dance music . How to
bring the tunes to 'life' and getting the 'lift' and swing into the music is the
aim of the weekend. Bowing and ornamentation of the tunes will be included. Some
of Tom's new tunes will feature (Tommy's Tunes). Laughing and total enjoyment is
a must!! Music will be sent out in advance.
