Tom Hanway: new links from MySpace

Working in combination with Universal and Digital Revolution Entertainment, Tom Hanway has built a time-saving MySpace site whereby music buyers can click on an album cover and go straight into iTunes for each of his three releases, setting up an account and/or ordering Tom’s music as entire albums or a la carte, choosing from his 42 selections.

His three critically acclaimed releases – Bucket of bees, Tom Hanway & Blue Horizon, and The Badbelly project: Hesitation Blues – became available last December as digital downloads on many online music stores.

Similarly, for Tom’s banjo book/CD with Mel Bay Publications, by clicking on the book cover, shoppers will go straight into Mel Bay XPress to a description and ordering page.

Full details of CDs, including the stellar lists of guest artists, are on Tom's website. In addition to this weekend's Balla Bluegrass Festival at Balla, Co. Mayo, with the Molly Hicks, Tom will be playing with his Bluegrass Pals at Lynch's, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, on 1 Nov., 15 Nov., and 29 Nov.
