Tommy is in high demand on

demonstrated great musical depth and technical ability with bands like Zaska,
Monster Monster, and Come On Live Long. He has toured both nationally and
internationally, and has recorded in some of Ireland's most acclaimed studios
such as Grouse Lodge and Windmill Lane. He is also a teacher at BIMM Dublin and
Waltons New School of Music. BARQ have performed at many of Ireland's major
music festivals including Electric Picnic, Indiependence, Longitude, Body &
Soul, and Other Voices, and have been invited to play at Canadian Music Week 2017. Hot Press Magazine described BARQ as "One of the hottest new acts of
