Tom Bright
“The excellent Tom Bright” – Guy Garvey (BBC 6 Music) “One of the UK’s most moving songwriters” – John Kennedy (Radio X) Tom Bright’s feet didn’t touch the ground in 2024. In a year that kicked off appearing on Sky News, he went onto support The Libertines, The Leisure Society, Ed Harcourt, Katherine Priddy and Alberta Cross on UK/European shows alongside a constant wave of headline concerts and a packed festival season (featuring a fourth consecutive Glastonbury). Armed with his guitar signed by Johnny Marr of The Smiths and John Squire of The Stone Roses, previous career highlights include performing at the London Palladium, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, on BBC’s The One Show, multiple live sessions and interviews on BBC Radio 2, 5Live, Radio X, opening for the likes of Mystery Jets, Tom Grennan, Richard Walters, Reverend and The Makers and working with the likes of The The. He’s earned the plaudits of esteemed music champions John Kennedy & Guy Garvey, publication CLASH Magazine and spent 2 years in Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World with ‘If I Met Your Shadow’. 2025 sees Tom give us a collection of songs from the start of his career, produced by The Clash legend Mick Jones.
Before his musical endeavours, Tom was once the UK’s youngest pub landlord, and is also a former patient of Great Ormond Street Hospital, undergoing a multitude of major life-saving operations. His third album, ‘Somewhere Anywhere’ – produced by Ed Harcourt and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios – is his most personal and reflective work to date.
