About the Author
Tom has worked with numerous singers and bands, including Pilgrims' Way, Gavin Davenport, Jon Loomes, Gren Bartley, Zoe Mulford, and Albireo. He has tutored at several Summer Schools, and has lead numerous workshops around the country. Heavily involved in the dance scene, and veteran of over 1500 gigs, he stands at the leading edge of the English folk scene. His style is English at heart, whilst encompassing elements of many other traditions. It is a unique, vibrant style full of exuberance, energy and wit, yet capable of expressing extraordinary emotional depth. In March 2015, he released his solo album, 'Interloper', a deeply personal project to capture the state of the English instrumental tradition and define the role of the fiddle within it. His latest album coincides with his book of the same name, Seasons of Change. Tom is also a much in demand fiddle teacher in the North West of England.
Reviews
"I'm devouring the book not just reading it. The lad is one of the best fiddlers I've ever heard - he breathes life into the tunes. I'd didn't know he was also a very fine writer indeed. I've been a sucker for these books about these islands. Busking for his keep , with his feet on the pavement of the high streets and his hand sending music into the air, Tom is a wise and witty guide to England pre-Covid19" Mike Harding.
