The Blues Club at Silsden Town Hall Presents…
TOM C WALKER BLUES EVENT
Saturday, 14th September 2019 7.30pm
Born in Birmingham, in 1995, Tom’s virtuoso performances from a young age stunned audiences with his guitar playing quickly earning him respect and admiration from, and the opportunity to play alongside much older musicians
This led to Tom’s first studio sessions with legendary producer Richard Digby Smith (Island records, Average White Band, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Free, Eric Clapton). Richard was one of the first people to discover Tom’s natural soulful musical feel and recorded Tom’s early demos.
In 2011 Tom formed the Tom Walker Trio, with Deano Bass from Birmingham blues/funk band Brothers Groove on bass and Jim Simpson (UFO, Budgie and Bonnie Tyler Band) on drums. In seven years with the trio Tom headlined major UK venues, including Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, 100 Club London, The Borderline London, The Birmingham Town Hall, The Birmingham Symphony hall and a residency at Jools Holland’s The Jam House.
Tom’s career has continued to go from strength to strength ever since. His new four-piece band with the addition of Jack Cooper on guitar has seen sold out shows across the UK, outstanding reviews from Blues in Britain magazine and The Paul Jones Blues Show (BBC Radio 2), thousands of record sales worldwide, and opening shows for the likes of John Lodge and British soul legends Kokomo.
Tickets £13 in advance, £15 on the door.

What Do You Want From Silsden Town Hall?
The Friends of Silsden Town Hall is a small charity that from April 2019 is running the Town Hall in Silsden.
One of the first things we wanted to do was ask Silsden Residents what things and activities they wanted in the Town Hall.
242 residents contributed their ideas and opposite is the summary of the things mentioned to the Friends.
In May 2018, we discovered what you wanted. But as time passes, you may come up with new ideas. So please get in touch with us with your ideas.
The Town Hall is a brilliant space. It is OUR space in Silsden. And it is for all residents. Whatever age, however long you have lived in Silsden.
Volunteer
