Verified profile

My name is Tom and I’m a singer/guitarist based in Leeds, UK with a passion for performing great live music. Whilst studying music at University, I began playing in a covers band focusing mainly on Motown, Pop, Funk and Soul. Since then, I have developed a love for performing live music, whether it be fronting a band or as a soloist with an acoustic guitar. After leaving University, I continued to play live and have since performed at over 200 events. With years of experience playing at pubs, parties, weddings and private events, I've built an extensive repertoire of songs spanning through many genres of music (see sample repertoire below). As a performer, my priority is to consistently play to the highest standard whilst making sure the audience is having a great time.

Book this band. You will not regret it. Booked the guys for a Christmas party with only 3 weeks notice and they were so helpful - with the added bonus of being low maintenance, flexible and chilled to work with. Not only was their band set excellent despite being down a bass player - they had people up dancing from the very first number (no mean feat in Yorkshire) but their DJ set kept the tunes coming. They worked around us and even gave us an extra 30mins of boogie times at the end. Top blokes. Will definitely be booking again! They need to learn a Bowie number though... (10 / 10)

Amazing performance at our wedding, made our perfect day very special. Very good communication. All the guests commented on how amazing Tom was, his interaction with the audience was excellent. Highly recommended, we couldn’t of wished for better

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I have a personable and charismatic approach to my performances. I am well known for my ability to appeal to all audience members and entice people of all ages, whether by humming along to background music or filling the dance floor.
