Thomas J. Walsh

April 2, 1928 ~ April 10, 2008

It is with a sad pen that I write about the passing of our dear friend, leader, and teacher Thomas J. Walsh,  passed away at home April 10, 2008 at the age of 80.

Tom was born April 2, 1928 in New Britain, CT. He played Irish Traditional music since the age of 10. The son of Irish immigrants, Tom became an icon to many up and coming musicians. He taught many musicians tunes that had become less popular over the years. After the passing of his friend Eddie Burke, he teamed up with fellow musicians to compose the Eddie Burke Tune book to keep those tunes at the forefront of many seisiúns. This free book can be found on the Burke-Curry-Seery Branch website  Click Here  for download..

Thank You
