Thursday 7 November 8pm Turner Sims Concert Hall |
|
Spanning blues, traditional, contemporary and much in between, his entire show is linked together with tall stories, fast one-liners, tragic tales of misfortune and an array of extraordinary characters who find themselves in everyday situations which he brings to life, turns around and finds humour in - whatever. Equally skilled on guitar and banjo, he is the real magic East-Ender (don't be fooled by the ersatz TV versions). |
| Third in our Autumn series of living legends, Tom is one of the finest fiddle players in the British Isles, a brilliant musician with a lovely flowing style and a wonderful singer as well. His interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs are greatly admired by other performers and he is much in demand for his sensitive contributions to other musician's recordings. Make the most of these people while they are still in peak form! |  |
