Tony a true laoch of Ireland. His music lives on and will always bring joy and life to everyone with a drop of Irish blood in them. Beir Bua a bhucaill.
Some wonderful memories of Tony playing throughout thr 70s/80s all over Ireland and in particular in the many Dublin pubs and clubs. Always a gentleman and for me was one the the best Irish box players - Tony and Noel Hill playing together could never be surpassed. Geraldine Murray.
Must be a quarter of a century now since Tony and his brother Bartholemew came to see me here in Kilkenny. They were on a voyage to re-discover the remnants of druidic Ireland. Tony well knew Otherworld before he passed there last week, I'm glad to be able to say. For him it wasn't only the music, but connection with our ancient ways..
