Attn Irish session folks-specific photos wanted

    Hi folks,

    Very specific request here. Firstly, for anyone that doesn't know, my Uncle Tom Collins passed away two years ago.

    My mother was recently going through some old photos and realised that we have very few pictures of Tom and his late wife Jo performing, which is odd because they were quite well-known in the Irish session community.

    Aside from the few videos of Jo making television appearances back in the day, we have very little left.

    So I was just wondering if anyone had any videos or photos of Jo (usually guitar and vocals) or Tom (usually banjo, mandolin and vocals) performing at any sessions or fleadhs over the years. They would mean the world to my mother.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi there,
    this is Tom that lived and played in Athlone for years,
    I might be able to point you in the right direction,

    Hi Neil, yes that's Tom. Himself and Jo would have regularly played sessions in Sean's in Athlone.

    Thanks!
