Throwback Gig Series Part 6 : Tom Speight

So about 6 months ago I wrote a series of gig review blogs that were never published. So here's a little throwback series featuring Meadowlark, Rae Morris, Slowdive, Coasts, Joe Dolman and Tom Speight.

The Oporto bar in Leeds is a great venue for a laid back, chilled gig and discover new music….or not so new as the case may be as I have been following Tom Speight’s career for quite some time now actually, 

Roe Green was the first to the stage with a solo keyboard set which was very expressive interspersed with comedic anecdotes. Top tracks of the set included ‘Chicago ‘and ‘Lately’.

The second support came from Thomas Harvey. The alt-folk-pop singer evokes the darker and more emotive side of pop with an experimental  folk-tronica sound which is highlighted in debut single ‘Swimming In Mud’ as well as ‘Shadow Man.’

Tom Speight mixed old favourites with songs from his latest EP, including ‘My Side’ and was joined by Lydia for the stunningly beautiful duets ‘River’, ‘Green Eyes’ and the couples anthem and popular choice at weddings ‘Willow Tree.’

Tom will be recording his debut album in March and fans can look forward to, not one. not two but ten new songs!
