So sorry to hear of the loss of Tommy. He was very dear to us during his time living in Sligo. A fine musician, & incredibly intelligent man

I am so deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my old friend, in music, Tommie Scanlon. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace. We performed and toured together from the mid- 90s to the early 2000s in the Sligo band “ Cadenza “ which I co-founded with Anna Houston. Tommie brought so much musicality and originality to our music and he was the master of so many musical instruments as well as a strong vocalist. Whenever Tommie joined us on stage, he never repeated the same performance twice …..no it just got better and better each time! Once he generously gifted me one of his precious guitars and I will treasure that instrument always. Tommie was a gifted musician who could have played comfortably on any world stage because he listened so carefully to the music, always bringing it to another level albeit through his improvisational skills or his innate musicianship. He loved and respected all his loyal friends and fellow musicians and he was a pure gentleman to the core. He will be very sadly missed by all who were lucky to have known him. I offer my sincerest condolences to Tommie’s parents , family and relatives during this difficult time. He is making sweet music now with the angels and peacefully at rest. See you on the other side my sweet friend. Love Dee ️

Anna Houston

My sincerest condolences, Margaret. I will always treasure the memories of great nights of music had with Tommie in the sessions of Sligo and on tour with the band in Italy and Switzerland. May he rest in peace

So sorry to hear my old friend Tommie Scanlon has played his last tune. He was a massive inspiration and support to me when I landed in Sligo 30 years ago. There have been few days in my life when I have laughed more than the day we made a full set of uillean pipes from a quinsworths bag and plastic drinking straws! I can still picture and hear Tommie rolling out his rendition of white wedding in Mc Garrigles…. All things come to an end but the memories remain.
