Tom Robinson with Adam Phillips: Then & Now
Advance Price: £25
Tall tales and top tunes from 50 years in the record industry
Tom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry.
Classic hits such as War Baby, Up Against The Wall, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway rub shoulders with a Radio 1 ban for being Glad To be Gay, rocking against racism with The Clash, writing songs with Elton John, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman.
Plus fan favourites from his vast back catalogue, spanning Café Society in 1975 to his acclaimed 2015 comeback album Only The Now.
SUPPORT – GABRIELLE SEY
South London-born singer/songwriter Gabrielle Sey describes her sound “like a round trip from London to Accra with a stop-off at a Cali Sunday Service”. Richly rhythmic, lyrically lead and soulfully infused, Sey draws from her Ghanaian heritage to craft a distinctive sound true to her roots but also embodies the influences of her Black British upbringing.
Sey’s artistry is incomplete without her signature performative flair; a characteristic of her music that can only be appreciated at her live shows. These shows have taken place at renowned venues and events including: The Roundhouse, BST Hyde Park, Black Deer Festival, Tedx Soho, Tedx Brighton, The Green Note and Earth Hackney. She has gained praise and recognition from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Worldwide FM, Fresh on the Net, Exile fm, Gal-Dem and AFROPUNK.
