My fathers name was John Joseph Tobin. He came from Kilkenny. He was killed in action over Germany in a Lancaster Bomber in 1945 when I was 3 years old, so I never really knew him. So, no my father was not Vince Tobin........but then I suppose it depends on which " Mike Tobin" you are referring to. I am the Mike Tobin that manages one of the greatest bands from the U.K. Stackridge.
