'A figure stumbled out from back stage and stood by the bar. Pete leaned over to me. “What do you reckon he’s one of the acts?” Beneath a huge mop of hair that made him look like a rejected member of the Kooks and in a tank-top that could have been passed down through generations of the Stone family, Thom was ordering a drink. Maybe it was his shuffling feet, or maybe it was his playful but nervous grin that stopped him looking like the kind of painful scenester that bounces along on the front row of whichever gig NME is promoting that week.
Pretty soon Thom was on stage with his guitar. Simple chords, simple song structures, simple melodies, and whole heaps of honesty, talent, and soul. Each song was punctuated with a quick bob of a bow, a thank you, and a few seconds of him rearranging his hair into the same wind-tunnel-resident look. Admittedly when he started playing, my instant reaction was “Oh, no, not another one”, but after a few minutes of bluesy, folky, heartfelt and above all British talent, I was hooked. If Matt Costa was English, he’d be Thom Stone.'
