I saw Tom perform alongside Johnny Silvo a few years ago in Darlington Folk Club and Tom was a lovely singer and guitarist in his own right with a gentle sense of humour.I hadn't realised Tom had died until reading about the sad news of Johhny Silvo, who like Tom is suffering from inoperable cancer.
It is sad that neither will never sing in Darligton again but they will in heaven.
God bless to Tom's family.
