About
Tom started playing at the age of 4. He's been a professional musician for over 30 years and as a much in demand guitarist plays over 150 gigs a year both in his own band and as a sideman. As an educator he wrote and arranged pieces for Trinity College London for their acoustic guitar syllabus. You've probably heard his guitar playing already without knowing as he has composed music for TV, Film and Radio (credits including the Radio 1 Live Lounge theme, BBC 6 Music Themes (Craig Charles, Steve Lemacq, Lauren Laverne, Mark Riley), Gold Radio, Virgin Radio, Smooth Radio, Heart and TV themes on ABC in Australia). He also has a Youtube channel where he posts weekly about the guitar, music and life as a musician.
As well as this he has 2 albums of original material available on all digital platforms!
The highlight of Tom's guitar playing career was playing "Whole Lotta Love" in front of Jimmy Page. Afterwards Tom met Jimmy, apologised to him for having to listen to someone else playing his song to him, to which Jimmy replied, "It was quite good actually!!"
