Description
My new album is Herself and Myself, which I recorded in 2014. It’s dedicated to my wonderful mother who died four years ago. The reviewers loved it!
Songs on the album include:
- Moving Us On – my own song about the discrimination faced by Travellers and Gypsies, written in response to the Dale Farm evictions
- She is My Joy – beautiful love song written by me and my grandfather, Johnny McCarthy
- The Escape of John Mitchel – rare song celebrating the escape from Australia of 19thCentury Irish hero John Mitchel
- Nell Flaherty’s Drake – a song known and loved among the travelling people for its vivid curses
- Young Willie – a rare recording of Thomas’ mother, Mary McCarthy, an old song about a Catholic boy and a Protestant girl, her father shoots him and then she turns into a swan
