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.

This is for Marvyn Wright, my partner's brother now living in Melbourne who listens to 6 upside down. In 2003, in a bar in Melbourne, prior to a gig, he met Pete and helped him out with the location of a music shop and so Pete dedicated Orgasm Addict at the end of the gig for Marvin. A story he loves to recount.
