Tom Bright – heads on the road after a string of support slots with The Libertines The Leisure Society, Ed Harcourt , Katherine Priddy and Alberta Cross on UK/EU shows, he’s toured relentlessly across the continent.as well as performing on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live, at Glastonbury Festival and appearing on Sky News…
His new album was 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, 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…
