If there were a way, to describe Tommy Fleming's voice it would have to be said he is a powerful operatic bell canto tenor, capable of dynamic crescendos, or in other words he sings heartbroken ballads, traditional and contemporary classics, alike. As one critic said "When Tommy Fleming sings a song he puts his entire heart and soul into it, uniquely stamping it as his." Fleming, an affable 30 year old Sligo native, openly admits its not opera, its not rock & roll. "In fact, I'm not really traditional, I'm just a singer who loves a song with a good story".
