Tom is a Newcastle-Upon-Tyne based multi-instrumentalist who specialises in fretted strings, and is most often seen playing mandolin and tenor banjo, as well as tenor guitar and mandola.

Originally from Bath, he reached the final stages of the BBC Young Folk awards before moving to Newcastle in 2011 to study Folk and Traditional Music at Newcastle University. After graduating in 2015, he won the renowned Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections with his band, Pons Aelius. He has since completed a masters degree at Newcastle University, with a focus on composing and performing contemporary mandolin repertoire. With his two main bands, Pons Aelius and Assembly Lane, Tom has released numerous albums and performed at venues and festivals across the UK and Europe.

If you want a sample of Tom’s playing before purchasing a Tune-O-Gram, he regularly uploads to his YouTube Channel.

Besides performing, Tom is a dedicated educator and offers private lessons, alongside running a workshop/band in Hexham called Hexham Bluegrass, which performs regularly in the North East.
