- Tommy releases Cowboy Song as his first ever single to celebrate his late father’s memory. Having won the ‘Best Demo of the Year’ competition in 2019, Tommy performed on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury festival last year, and at the opening ceremony of ‘One Young World’ at the Royal Albert Hall, his Dad by his side all the way.
Tommy, with the help of his brother Jake and his Dad’s colleagues: Andy Cook, Jason Elliott, Rowin McIntosh, Eve Morris and Martin Hollis recorded the song at British Grove Studios in Chiswick. Tommy’s father David Stewart, set up 'British Grove Studios' in the early 2000's for Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. In February 2009, it was the winner of the Music Producers Guild Award for 'Best Studio’.
Tommy says: “One of my earliest memories is of Dad sitting me down and playing me Thin Lizzy, whom he’d worked with in the early 80’s. We then used to play ‘Cowboy Song’ together all the time, on the sofa or at family celebrations. It sort of became the song that defined his passing; I’ve always associated it with Dad, but it’s nice now that everybody else does too. When we got the dreaded news that Dad wouldn’t make it, alongside the knowledge that we wouldn’t be able to see him, my brother had the idea to get the nurses to play music to him, needless to say, only one song came to my mind (Cowboy Song).”
In a statement earlier this year, Mark Knopfler said, "David will be sorely missed, not only by everyone at British Grove but also by everybody who knew him. Our hearts go out to our beloved Robyn and their two sons Jake and Tommy".
Great to hear the next generation playing Thin Lizzy songs Phil and boys must be so proud of their music still alive and well
Keep rocking
His father was a excellent father. Just look at his boys. Way to be. God Bless their family
I love Thin Lizzy. Saw them live many times. Met Phil once. Have to give credit. A brilliant cover. Well done. Real feeling and passion.
LOVE this! Three years late to the party, I see, but so glad this came up in my feed. Thin Lizzy fan from Canada here.
Never heard anyone cover this song.......
My favorite Thin Lizzy song.....
My Favorite Thin Lizzy Song as Well .
The Supersuckers did it!
It's so nice to see young people that appreciate great guitarist and music.
Great job on a great song. I hope my kids think of me when they hear this song also. I was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy when they toured for this album. Best concert I've attended to this very day.
Listening to this on BB Radio 2 right now, Tuesday December 5th. Deeply Sorry for your loss 😞
I pray that you will find the strength to continue his amazing legacy 🙏

You speak with your father on every chord. You carry him with every note. The rest of us have never heard a more beautiful and meaningful conversation between father and son. Thank you for letting us listen in!~
