Say hello to Tom!

Tom started out as an electric guitar player and was initially inspired to play by the big 90’s and early noughties rock bands. He began playing in bands and a little later got into teaching in 2008.

Tom picked up a few other instruments including Laúd and Balalaika, although we don’t know if this counts being a multi-instrumentalist since these aren’t a million miles away from guitar. They’re fun though, and they’ve opened up some cool gigs and opportunities over the years for him.

He did a degree in Music and Music Technology and later on, an MA in music performance. Tom is currently gigging with a few groups and teaching, so has a nice level of variety.

Current live music projects include a jazz manouche group, a bossa nova group and a rock tribute band. Apart from music, Tom likes long distance running, cycling and seeing the world.
