Traditional African and Oriental Music
Tommy Sands and his songs have often been voices of peace amidst anger, and healing amidst conflict, in places from Belfast to Sarajevo to the Middle East.
In addition to his songs, Sands has written a book about his life, called Songman. Though it does indeed talk some of his travels, the most vivid parts of his narrative have to do with his early days in Rostrevor in County Down, his choices as a young man to follow music rather than violence, and his work following music and working for peace in Northern Ireland.
This is an excerpt from a longer story -- which also includes thoughts on Sands' music -- at A Traveler's Library. To read more, please visit
Destination: County Down, Northern Ireland
