Legendary musician and broadcaster Tom Robinson has become a bit of a regular in the Music Room over the years, bringing much anticipated shows to our stage every year. So, of course, we had to have him back – now for the fourth time – as part of our anniversary celebrations, and he’s bringing a real treat of an evening.
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.
