Act profile

At just 24 years of age, Tom has been entertaining crowds with his take on classic pop full time for the past five years, proving to be just as popular with the wine bar crowds of Cheshire as he is playing the University parties of Nottingham and the club set at London's Kensington Roof Gardens, where he regularly appears.

Tom calls upon his close circle friends of quality professional musicians to suit for every occassion: going out solo (acoustic guitar/vocals), as a duo (acoustic guitar/vocals & percussion/harmony vocals) or as a three piece band (guitar/bass/drums & two vocals), always delivering songs in his unmistakable husky voice.

Tom plays the very best music of the last fifty years, delving into the pop archives from acts such as the Beatles and Frank Sinatra up to Maroon 5 and the Take That, via a bit of Thin Lizzy and Squeeze!

Testimonials

“Singer and guitarist Tom is already well known in certain areas of the live music sector and, appearing here alongside his backing musicians, he proved what a fine performer he is. An acoustic version of the soul classic My Girl certainly made for interesting listening and the set was one of the highlights of the day for this reviewer.” — The Stage Magazine, (December 2010)

"Excellent work Tom, a lovely little track" - Mark Morriss of the Bluetones on Tom's new song Pink Lillies. (February 2011)

“To date I've had the pleasure of having Tom singing for me twice, still not enough, great persona, great performer!” — Craig Knightingale, Promotions Executive, Kensington Roof Gardens, London, (February 2011)

"Alex,
We can not thank Tom enough for his performance at our Wedding. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed his set. Its amazing how a young man with a guitar can command a large room full of guests, he was brilliant. Here is a lovely picture of him on the night. We have already emailed Tom to say thanks.
Regards
Helen & Craig" (Wedding Sept 2010)

Absolutely superb. Never in all the years we have been having acts on for our summer balls have I seen a crowd react like they did to Tom. We will definitely be booking him for our Christmas party.

Yes thanks, Tom was great and it was a really good night. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks,

Tom W: Another Late Night EP (****)

"At the tender age of 22, local troubadour Tom has joined forces with a
cracking band, reinvented the concept of the extended play and serves up
four slices of self-penned power pop. The mellifluous All I Need
showcases our man's vocal maturity: it's dripping in harmonies and has
the deftest of guitar solos… a rarity these days.

Up next is the funky Be Another Night... all electric piano and attitude (think Good Enough by Dodgy), which begs to be heard poolside. Track three, Let Your Love Shine Out is, the sleeve notes tell me, another original. I say that only because I'd swear it was a long-lost floor-filler from Wigan Casino,
complete with an uncanny Weller-esque vocal. My Door Is Open
slows things right down and if Tom ever dreams of playing arena gigs
(and why not?), then this is the one where the lighters come out. An
assured debut, which promises good things to come."

- Nottingham Evening Post, 10th April 2009
