Let the circle be wide

Tommy Sands singing with a gathered crowd

Let the circle
be wide.

Learning. Listening.
Finding common ground.

Concerts, school assemblies and workshops that bring people together through music, listening and conversation.

Tommy’s educational work includes peace concerts, lectures, school assemblies and university workshop performances. Through songs and conversation, he shares a message of tolerance and peace with audiences in Ireland and around the world.

The Irish Bardic tradition

Drawing on his knowledge of traditional Irish music and its history, Tommy explores the role of the bard: carrying stories, ideas and experiences from one generation to the next, bringing the old into the new.

Creating dialogue through the arts

Song, music and art become a starting point for discussing peaceful responses to cultural conflict. The music and the message come together in one programme.
