Promoter dies on Caribbean cruise

Tributes poured in for the music promoter and businessman Tom Pigott yesterday, who died just after performing a song with Mary Black on board a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

Mr Pigott, originally from Crosby Row in Limerick, died in the early hours of Saturday while on a trip with his partner on the Norwegian Pearl liner.

The 63-year old was the owner of Enchanted Way Tours, a Clare-based business that attracts mostly American tourists on a music and cultural tour of Ireland.
