Session Work
Eyre, who had done studio work for many artists before, started working predominantly as a session musician from the late 1980s. His studio work included recordings with Ian Gillan, BBM, and several recordings with Gary Moore in 1982 and throughout the nineties. Another act for whom Eyre has contributed session work was Gerry Rafferty. His 1978 album City to City included Rafferty's hit Baker Street on which Eyre played synthesizer and keyboards. The track "Whatever's written in your heart", was recorded with Tommy playing piano and Gerry singing beside him.
During the 1990s, Eyre recorded several albums together with his wife the American violinist Scarlet Rivera, many of them influenced by traditional Irish or Scottish music. Later in the nineties he also produced some solo albums with instrumental piano music.

—Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
“Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing.”
