Aithnítear Tommie Potts ar dhuine de mháistrí fidle na Fichiú hAoise, agus is mór an tionchar a bhí ag a stíl shainiúil ar na glúnta ceoltóirí.  Déanfar ceiliúradh ar a shaol agus ar a thréimhse fada le Seirbhís Dóiteáin Bhaile Átha Cliath i léiriú nua ar-líne mar chuid den bhféile Music Town. An tseachtain seo ar an gclár, labhrann an fidléir agus Stiúrthóir Thaisce Cheol Dúchais Éireann Liam O’Connor faoin tionchar a bhí ag Potts air féin, agus faoin léiriú nua Tommie Potts: The Fireman Fiddler of the Coombe.

Tommie Potts was one of the most influential fiddler players of the 20th Century and his unique approach to traditional music has made a lasting impact.  As part of Music Town, a new online show celebrates his music and his service with the Dublin Fire Brigade.  This week on the programme, fiddler and Director of the Irish Traditional Music Archive Liam O’Connor discusses Potts’ life and legacy, along with his own role in the upcoming event Tommie Potts: The Fireman Fiddler of the Coombe. Tristan Rosenstock presents.
