As a singer-songwriter, Tom Dale draws on many influences including artists such as Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie and Huddy Leadbetter. Each song he writes is a tale of life, sung with a rare honesty and conviction.
A prolific song-smith, with a street-worn command of rack harmonica, finger-style, lap and slide guitar, he is an experienced and unique performer who tips a respectful hat to the roots of traditional music.

Report: August 2009 In the late 80's and mid 90's Seattle USA produced a music scene which took the world by storm. Years later music has gone full circle and NOW a new thriving music scene in the UNITED KINGDOM is Erupting.
I'm Nick J.Townsend of WEAK13, also an underground music journalist, columnist and radio show presenter. For the last 6 months bands and crowds are flocking to a place called Stourbridge in England. Venues there are opening doors to bands. Music engineers, promoters, small labels, Bands and music fans are going to Stourbridge. One of the next big nights there has LAST UNDER THE SUN, THE ROCKET DOLLS, MASTER WARBEAST & WPAPPED IN PLASTIC all playing at BASE STUDIOS on FRIDAY AUGUST 28TH. The venue can be found on www.basestudios1.co.uk I'll be there offering radioplay to bands that need it.
The radio show can be heard here http://www.basementsound.co.uk/radio/BSRadio.php I plug bands from Brazil, Portugal, Sweden, USA, Australia, UK. Get on the show and contact producer 'Murph' on team@basementsound.co.uk
I grew up with some of the best music in the world and 15 years later only now am I starting to hear original bands make good music again. The venues are now becoming full again. This may never happen again for another 15 years. Now is the time. People will decide what music will be popular in the S'bridge scene. Seattle had grunge. Which genre will get big first?

Hey guys, I'm peed off I arrived after the gig last night but it was great to see you both afterwards, lots of fun. Hope your heads were feeling better than mine today and that you survived the gig. Thanks for playing my medieval song xxx
