Artist: Tom Byrne

Progressive Rock

I have privately released two albums, "The Last Druids" (2002) and "The Eye of the Cyclone" (2003). These are, according to one reviewer "progressive rock heavily informed by Celtic music", though there are also space-rock influences in the second album. My next album "The Store of All the Worlds" will be released in April 2004. "The Last Druids" is entirely instrumental, "The Eye of the Cyclone" is mainly instrumental, with some spoken vocals. Both albums are symphonic.
