As we work through this difficult time, we are stronger together with our fans whose messages of condolence bring great comfort to us and his family. Tom would have wanted us to continue the tour and doing so is the best way we can honour him and the spirit of the music that lived in his heart.

Tom was an esteemed guitarist throughout his career and had played with Roddy Frame, Fields of the Nephilim, Rebelles, Edwyn Collins, Andrea Corrs, Arno Castens and Spiderbites.
