Today, Sunday, March 16, 2025 veteran maritime music performer Tom Lewis released his joyful new tune on YouTube, St. Patrick’s Song. Tom writes, “Coming into the this world, in Belfast, almost 82 years ago; I became an ‘Irishman’! Although I’ve never really celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, I did compose this little song quite a few years ago, and whilst it has never gained much ‘traction’: I’d be very happy if people want to sing it. Off you go, and a happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!

Tom Lewis is one of the single most influential maritime music performers still entertaining both at modest folk gatherings and at major festivals like Festival du chant de marin de Paimpol in France that brings in 110,000 visitors over the weekend. (That festival next runs from August 8-10, 2025.) This year, Lewis has an upcoming performance in Poland and a UK tour in June.
