On the 30th March 2012 Tommy suffered a huge blow with the loss of both his parents when they unexpectedly passed away within hours of each other. In the months that followed Tommy took a long break from his career and evaluated his life, his music and what steps he now needed to take.

During this emotionally upsetting time, Tommy started to write and the results were a surprise to Tommy himself when he realised he could recall a lot more about his life and career than he thought.

This is Tommy's first release of a book based on his life with never before told stories from his childhood, his family life, schooldays, his first time stepping onto a stage, starting his first band, Phil Coulter influence, joining De Dannan together with his trials and tribulations throughout his musical career and his life.
