SINGER and songwriter Tom Bright is regarded as one of the most hard-working guys in music. Once an 18 year old pub landlord, now a touring artist, he has already worked and performed with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Tom is heading north on Wednesday, February 27, for a gig at Ruskins at Kendal as part of venue owner Shaun Bainbridge's series of midweek music nights.

In 2017, London-based Tom featured in The The’s multimedia project, The Inertia Variations, after being asked by Matt Johnson himself if he would do a version of Love Is Stronger Than Death for the movie and album.

Around the same time, Tom was recording his debut songs, with Mick Jones of The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite fame on production.

At the start of 2018, Tom's first release Schoolyard Crimes received national radio exposure across one the UK’s best music stations BBC 6Music. Singles Tsunami of Suits and Spiders followed both gaining Tom plenty of plaudits and praise from the press.

While simultaneously touring across Europe and the UK constantly throughout 2018, Tom curated his own music festival in association with The Joe Strummer Foundation, Bright Fest. He closed his latest UK tour with three BBC Introducing radio sessions at London, Nottingham and Derby.

This year promises to be as busy for talented Tom with Storm in a Teacup released on February 25, put out under Tom Bright and The Dynamite, and produced by Tom and Sam Brookes.

Tom has a great voice and writes extremely catchy and infectious tunes.

A far cry from his Mick Jones produced singles of last year, Storm in a Teacup is stripped back, raw and honest as he tackles the important issue of mental health.
