UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL TALENTS OF ONE OF OUR FINEST EMERGING SINGER SONGWRITERS” – LOUDER THAN WAR


After appearing at our cosy arts space last year, esteemed singer-songwriter Tom Bright will be returning on Saturday 23 May to perform a very special, intimate concert for us.



2025 saw him make his third television appearance on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live, serenade thousands at his fifth Glastonbury Festival, and sell out shows across the UK and beyond.


Bright's tireless graft has seen him hit iconic heights of the London Palladium, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, appear on BBC’s The One Show and Sky News, and record countless live sessions and interviews for BBC Radio 2, 5 Live, Radio X and more. Along the way, he’s shared stages with The Libertines, Mystery Jets, Tom Grennan, Reverend & The Makers, Katherine Priddy, Ed Harcourt and others.


His songs land with emotional weight and unvarnished honesty. He’s collaborated with The The, earned continued support from tastemakers Guy Garvey and John Kennedy and spent two years on Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist with 'If I Met Your Shadow’. As well as five Glastonburys, festival slots include Celtic Connections, Secret Garden Party and Cottingham Folk.


In May last year, Tom released ‘Young Old Bloke’, a collection of early songs produced by Mick Jones (The Clash) and Dirty White. He has three previous albums in the world — all produced by Ed Harcourt. Away from the stage, his story is just as remarkable: once the UK’s youngest pub landlord, and a childhood marked by multiple life-saving surgeries.


Don’t miss your chance to see this rising star in such a cosy (and local) setting. Limited seated tickets available here: https://www.thehearth.co.uk/event-details/tom-bright-1
