Tom Bright
Tom Bright finds himself with an incredible collection of new songs and a world waiting to see him back on the stage, catch him live at The Hug and Pint as part of Celtic Connections 2023!
About Tom Bright
Tom Bright grabbed the attention of some of the biggest names in broadcasting with the release of his second album, 2021’s ‘Legacy’ (produced by Ed Harcourt).
He gained huge praise from Elbow legend Guy Garvey on BBC 6 Music, new music champion John Kennedy aired every release on his iconic Radio X show (hosting Tom for a live session the day after the album release), and he went on to land in Spotify’s New Music Friday & editorial playlist The Most Beautiful Songs in the World with his heartbreakingly raw ‘If I Met Your Shadow’. Support stretched all the way up to Iain Anderson on BBC Scotland, across to Ireland on RTÉ Radio 1 with Lilian Smith, and also came from long-term followers Gary Crowley (BBC London) & Dean Jackson (BBC Introducing).
Already in 2022, Tom has toured tirelessly, supporting the likes of William Prince, Richard Walters & Callaghan, played Celtic Connections in Glasgow, two sensational shows at Glastonbury Festival, and Secret Garden Party.
It’s really no surprise that Tom is turning all these heads. In a career that’s seen him work with the likes of Matt Johnson (The The) & The Clash’s Mick Jones, he has ploughed on against all odds.
For someone who was once the UK’s youngest pub landlord, Berlin-born, Derbyshire-raised Tom has more unique stories than most, and now confidently showcases his immense strength as a songwriter. Now he’s armed with an upcoming third album (once again produced by Ed Harcourt, and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios).
