TR Dallas plans

Tom Allen will be 35 years on the road as TR Dallas in 2015. The man from Westmeath plans to mark the occasion with a series of special shows in the coming months.

“It is hard to believe it is all of those years since I had the first big hit with Who Shot JR Ewing,” says Tom. “It’s great to be in such demand after all that time.” CL
