Mark Kozlowski - a fine bass player with a connoisseur's knowledge of vodka and rock'n'roll
Tom "TP" Parrott - a percussionist with an extraordinary eye for art and film-making

I have had the great pleasure of performing with the following musicians:
Dave Northmore (RIP 1987-2007) the best guitarist ever and the best friend a boy could ever have, always loved and never forgotten
Sway: the UK's greatest lyricist and rapper, the most amazing songwriter in the world right now Thom Stone, the heartbreakingly good Laura Marling, Jimmy "Fingers" Dockerill, the incredible Andrew Davie and Phil Renna of Davie Fiddle, the most gorgeous Nicola Burland, my partner in hip-hop beatmaking crime Elliot Bradley (the best piano player i know), the legendary Peter Wilson, the fantastic Daniel Lovegrove and oh so many others... I'm a right jammy prick!

InfluencesDave Northmore - Always gonna be my rock star.

= REVIEWS =

With an entire generation of new songwriters uncaring about traditional musical pigeon holes, we have music that proudly swings from mosh pit to dancefloor to backroom of folkie pub and still sounds mighty fine. Here aspirant Londoner Tuffy wields a banjo and harmonica on one track and has grime MC Sway guesting on another. Not only does he get away with it, he proves himself a creditable songwriter on this all too brief EP.

His tangled lyrical tumble evokes thoughts of Mike Skinner before he got distracted and bored and Alex Turner minus the smugness. There’s a sweet domestic turn to the scenes he carves out but you get the feeling from Tuffy’s fondness for a laconic melody that he’s just a dreamer at heart. Let’s hope for more. Soon.

i have to say i ADORE your EP
i've been waiting for it for days. seriously - frantically searching the post has now become something of a hobby.
as soon as it arrived i slapped it into my hi-fi and turned the music up so loud it filled my house with your wonderful songs. I have to say this is some of the best stuff i've heard for a pretty long time. i love the way you sing about things that are so every day but yet such an example of the way we live.

you're awesome
and i just wanted to say thank you for such great music.

Sorry for the late reply but thankyou kevin for your sweet comment.

I hope that you and laura marling can come to melbourne australia one day and play a gig together.
It will definetly be a terrific combo!

Well the amazing Thom Stone can sound very like Charlie from Noah and the Whale in the background of your terrific songs and if i may say at first i thought it was Charlie.

Well anyway have a terrific day as you play your beautifull music.

To Be To Begin, is the MOST meaningfull song ever writen.
In that song the melody plays a little part as those words can stop a bus in its tracks.
Well With such fantastic lyrics written by such a fantastic artist, it should be illegal to not listen to you, kevin tuffy ;) with your beautifull music that brightens my day.
I hope you have a great day!!
