Tom is proud to have been a Borealis Recording Company artist.

The Friends of Fiddler's Green and Finest Kind also do excellent British Isles and Canadian folk music. The Friends provide musical backup for Tom on Tinker.

Tom's works have also 'inspired' some poetic responses from fans. Tom's Yarns, by Bryan Finlay, is a light-hearted reflection on Tom's performances; while Tom's song A Sailor's Prayer led Charles Roth to parody the opposite point of view, in A Publican's Curse.

One-time U.S. Coastguard sonar-operator: Bob Zentz is a joyously charismatic performer, greatly talented song-writer, folklorist par excellence, exponent of more instruments than might be believable, one of Tom's most treasured mentors, and an all-round-good-egg!
