Playing live at The Hearth - Saturday 23rd May, 7.30pm (doors 7pm)
A FEARLESS ACOUSTIC TROUBADOUR WITH A VOICE LIKE SANDPAPER AND A HEART LIKE GOLD
We’re delighted to welcome back Tom Bright to perform again for us at The Hearth this May. His last gig was fantastic and enjoyed by all who came along.
“The excellent Tom Bright” – Guy Garvey (BBC 6 Music)
“One of the UK's most moving songwriters... fantastic” – John Kennedy (Radio X)
"Unique and exceptional talents of one of our finest emerging singer songwriters” - Louder Than War
Tom Bright is a relentlessly touring songwriter whose songs land with emotional weight and unvarnished honesty. 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.
Armed with a guitar signed by Johnny Marr of The Smiths and John Squire of the Stone Roses, 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.
He has 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'.
In May, 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.
Tom is currently working on his fifth studio album, with Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets) handling production.
