Yeah, he's not quite any one of those things and he's kind of all of those things.

I suppose you could say that he's got a real kind of a tenor voice that, you know, if he was in the opera that he would be the leading man, as it were.

And that's really the thing that he was most known for, I think,

in his musical career, that he had this phenomenal voice that if you heard it, it was instantly recognizable.

That's Tommy Fleming and a voice that's really kind of singular.

Talk to me then about Tina Mitchell.

Who is she and how did they meet?

So Tina Mitchell, just before she met Tommy Fleming, was a manager at a local radio station and they met, as you do, at a mutual friend's funeral in 2002.

And looking back on their relationship, Tina often describes it as a bit of a slow burn, that it was a little bit slow to develop.

She had been in a previous marriage from which she had two children and that had ended in 1997.

And she spoke over the years about not wanting to rush into a new relationship, a new serious relationship after meeting Tommy.

But that when they met that day at that funeral, that they had really hit it off together.

And over the course of a few meetings and a few dates, that relationship just really kind of built up and built up.

And they did end up in a relationship together.

So they were engaged then in 2004.

They got engaged in Cape Town over in South Africa.

And then two years later, they were married.

They had a lovely wedding in Clifton back in County Galway.

And then they were married for 20 years up until they separated just the end of last year.

Yeah, and from the outside, it looked like a normal, loving, strong relationship.
