Tom Robinson & Band
Having entertained us in 2015, Tom Robinson returns to Wickham on Saturday 4th August. He shot to fame with the top 10 hit 2-4-6-8 Motorway and Glad To Be Gay.
A UK songwriter & broadcaster first known in the 1970s as a musician & LGBT activist, Tom and his band were also early supporters of Rock Against Racism & Amnesty International. Between 1975 & 2001 Tom released 19 albums with various bands, and had a solo hit with the song War Baby. He has also co-written songs with Elton John, Peter Gabriel & Dan Hartman. He has hosted programmes on all BBC national radio networks and won three Radio Academy awards. He currently presents shows on BBC Radio 6 Music and hosts the new music blog Fresh On The Net.

BBC Introducing Live 2019 was an amazing three day event aimed at anyone aiming to pursue a career in music - whether performing, producing, promoting or in radio and journalism. Thanks to a last minute change in the schedule, it fell to me to give the closing talk on the Saturday. Here's the audio from that talk, together with my cue cards from the day...

PETER GABRIEL & TOM ROBINSON XMAS 1978 "Merrily Up On High" - unreleased duet recorded exclusively for Nicky Horne on Capital Radio. Huge thanks to Paul Lewis @wycombegigs for posting this - first time I've heard it in over 30 years: soundcloud.com/tomrobinson/merrily
Remember live show at Hammersmith. Think Elton played piano, and Roxy's Andy Mackay was in the band.
I loved your Christmas Eve gigs Tom. Became a tradition.
Nicky Horne - capital radio 194 ! 👍
Thanks for that mr robinson a nice wee christmas tune.

Had a great night but perhaps a little too much festive spirit, as only very hazy memories left of it!
What a treat ! Happy Christmas everyone 🌲
Ever heard the session TRB did for capitol radio a great pup singalong version of Martin

My first proper gig, Hammy Odeon Christmas Eve 1978. Sixteen years old. Lost my purse which had my return train ticket in, as well as the ticket for the gig. Missed the last train from St Pancras....my friend bought me a ticket from Euston and my poor old dad collected me from Watford Junction. It was bloody brilliant, but sadly I lost the Tom ‘n’ Peter badge...
I was lucky enough to have been at the Hammersmith Odeon that night, and still have the badge and flexi disc we all got in a cracker !
Wasn't that (minus Peter Gabriel) on North By Northwest?
Class choon that!
