We are beyond excited to welcome ‘star on the rise’, Tom Bright, who appears live at The Hearth Arts Centre on Saturday 24th May, 7.30pm (doors at 7pm). TICKETS HERE

Tom’s feet haven't touched the ground these past 18 months. From performing on BBC One's Sunday Morning Live, at Glastonbury Festival to supporting The Libertines, The Leisure Society, Ed Harcourt, Katherine Priddy and Alberta Cross on UK/EU shows, he's toured relentlessly across the continent.

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, 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, and Reverend & The Makers.

Tom is now all set to wind the clock back by releasing an early collection of songs he recorded with legendary producer and punk rock pioneer Mick Jones of The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite and his right-hand man Dirty White, mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.

Featuring Mick on piano throughout and even Sex Pistol Glen Matlock playing bass on track ‘Temptress’, the collection titled ‘Young Old Bloke’ (abbreviated to ‘YOB') offers a fascinating insight into how it all started music-wise for Tom. There’s rock’n’roll, big guitar riffs, tongue in cheek lyrics and even a theremin.

The title is multi-layered, referring to how Tom felt post-pub landlord days, whilst also referencing working alongside music royalty, seeing that they were all just young old, or older young, blokes.
