Tom has been coming and playing gigs for us for quite a few years and is one of the most popular acts we put on, so it was no surprise the gig was sold out in advance.
Unfortunately Marcus Bonfanti, who was due to do the support, had to cancel all his Scottish dates due to picking up a nasty viral infection, but local singer/songwriter Gary Miller stepped in and played a great set. Gary really does know how to write a great song. He played a brilliant set. He really is worth checking out.
Tom is one of the hardest working musicians I have ever met. The guy played for nearly 3 hrs. He kicked off with a few songs from his forthcoming album, which sounded fantastic. One thing that strikes you about Tom is just what an amazing voice he has. The power and strength is equally matched by the sweetness and clarity. He really is one of the best singer I have heard.
At one point it seemed as if the whole room was bouncing when he treated us to a selection of Inspiral Carpet classics, sparking a mass sing along.
It was a great night from a guy who is not only a great musician, but also a hell of a nice fella. Cheers Tom.
