'Everything you do is quality Tom'
Gordon Giltrap
'Wow, that was fantastic! How long have I known you Tom: How long have you been playing with me? Yet that was the first time I've ever heard you play in your own right. I said to the other guys, "listen to this guy - he's fantastic". They were amazed.'
Colin Blunstone, Honiton Motel, Feb 2005
'A truly versatile musician, Tom thrills audiences from a vast repertoire
encompassing blues, rock and classics. It wasn't just that he captivated the room with his playing, it's also the mastery of his craft that commands attention'
Maxwell Steer, Nightlife, The Old Ship, Mere
'I have not heard a better guitarist in my life. He plays Santana and Jimi
Hendrix and a wide range of music. He appeared at the Bear Hotel on Fri 25 Nov 2005 and was outstanding. This man has true genius. Tom if you can hear this please come back. I am trying to get you gigs.'
'Thanks once again for what I can only describe as a breathtaking display of
axemanship at the Baker's Arms in Martock on Saturday. I've never seen anyone play an acoustic set with such skill, flair and panache.
As I mentioned, I have seen some of the greats, including a couple of
incarnations of Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Queen and Aerosmith to name but a few and I can quite honestly say say that you surpass any of them - a true virtuoso.
I look forward to seeing you in Monfi Cat and Jingo Santana in the near
future.'
Paul Corbett, Yeovil
Is beautiful sensation when someone have that kind of chance to know a
person like you are - listening how you play a guitar and over your expression on the stage - everyone can see that you are music. bye
