Is that you singing 'The Violin' on YouTube? If so, good work.

Wish I could come, but the Atlantic Ocean interferes.

Can't come and see you in Scotland, Tom - bit too far for me - but all those who can, should definitely go.

I will, however, be seeing you on the Friday at Cleckheaton FF. Looking forward to that.

Cheers

Sylvia

Hi Leeneia - yes that's probably me, though there is a nice version by Bruce Baillie too, so maybe you saw that.

And Hi Sylvia - see you at Cleck!

Ok, last time up North of the Border, and need to get bums on seats, so here are some quotes if you've not heard me:

Some quotes in case it helps bring a few extra people along (sorry but needs must, and no-one else is going to if i don't)!

"Astonshingly moving and inspirational..." Joe Grint, Tykes News. "Never have I heard tales told and sung with such humour and skill. A spellbinding couple of hours - where did the evening go?" Terry Ferdinand - Bishop FM "One of the best nights I've had. Tom Bliss was brilliant; great songs, great performance, superb stories. I was enthralled and so was everyone else." Simon Goodfellow - FCO Web Forum

"This guy has pretty well universal appeal - with his beautiful voice, his accomplished playing of several instruments and the range of his material. Tom's songs are accessible and engaging, with humour and singable choruses, and he appeals to the traditionalists and the modernists alike. We are guaranteed a wonderful evening." Tom and Barbara Brown - Shammic Acoustic Sessions

"It will be an absolute delight to see Tom play a full solo set. Brilliant though his pairing with Tom Napper is, Tom's songwriting skills and musical dexterity on a whole variety of instruments can best be seen unadorned and solo. Expect songs of the sea; and probably of ghosts and inexplicable happenings as well. Tom is one of the gentlest and most cheerful artists on the circuit. This is a treat for all the cognoscenti of the singer/songwriter's art." John Waller - Topic Folk Club

"Tom's youtube videos and even his CDs don't do him justice, this man HAS to be seen live. The Ken Dodd of folk music perhaps!"

"A musical Peter Usinov!"

Starting tomorrow

Tom
