Tom Bright - Solo Acoustic + Support From Matt Fairley
Tom Bright's feet haven't touched the ground these past 18 months. From performing on BBC One's Sunday Morning Live, at Glastonbury Festival and appearing on Sky News to supporting The Libertines, The Leisure Society, Ed Harcourt, Katherine Priddy and Alberta Cross on UK/EU shows, he's toured relentlessly across the continent. Armed with his guitar signed byJohnny Marr of The Smiths and John Squire of The Stone Roses, previous career highlights include performing at theLondon Palladium,Shepherd's Bush Empire,The One Show, multiple live sessions and interviews onBBC Radio 2,5Live,Radio X, opening for the likes ofMystery Jets, Tom Grennan, Richard Walters, Reverend & The Makers and working with the likes ofThe The. He's earned the plaudits of esteemed music champions John Kennedy & Guy Garvey, publicationCLASH Magazine and spent 2 years in Spotify's Most Beautiful Songs in the World with 'If I Met Your Shadow'. Tom is now all set to wind the clock back by releasing an early collection of songs he recorded with legendary producer and punk rock pioneer Mick Jones of The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite and his right-hand man Dirty White, mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Featuring Mick on piano throughout and even Sex Pistol Glen Matlock playing bass, the collection titled Young Old Bloke (abbreviated to YOB') offers a fascinating insight into how it all started music-wise for Tom. Theres rock n roll, big guitar riffs, tongue in cheek lyrics and even a theremin. The title is multi-layered, referring to how Tom felt post-pub landlord days, whilst also referencing working alongside music royalty, seeing that they were all just young old, or older young, blokes. Tom has three previous albums out in the world (all produced by Ed Harcourt). Before his musical endeavours, he was the UKs youngest pub landlord, and is also a former patient of Great Ormond Street Hospital, undergoing a multitude of life-saving operations as a child.
