Tom Speight at Thekla

A gig held at Thekla on Sunday 1st October. The event starts at 19:00.


London based singer/songwriter Tom Speight is a driven talent with a string of EPs and a full-length album under his belt, gaining strong radio support from BBC Radio 2 with seven playlisted records in a row, and over 200 million streams across DSPs. Since 2014, he has gained international recognition from the UK, to Germany to Brazil, headlining shows and supporting some of the biggest acts, from Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, to Ben Howard and Travis.
He’s now got a new album in the pipeline. It is bigger, bolder and poppier than the folky Collide and a celebration of living life to the max. A timely reminder to approach every day as an adventure, and an invitation to ride alongside him as he travels the world wide-eyed. Recorded with producer Chris Bond in Devon / Rich Turvey in London and featuring contributions from regular collaborators Lydia Clowes and Turin Brakes, the album was written as lockdown loomed and recorded over a socially-distanced summer. Sunny song titles, boisterous guitars, shimmering electronics and lashings of beautiful backing vocals are among its most enticing calling cards.
