New album from Fife musician who taught James Corden the Gay Gordons

Early bird tickets quickly sold out, but they did promise to come back when dates can be arranged. Significant too that we saw the return of John Frame on vocals sharing the stage with Tom Stirling for some of the set.

This week saw a new release from Tom Adamson Band called Old View Of The New World.

Tom is originally from Dunfermline and is a multi-instrumentalist with drums being his first instrument but also commands lead vocals plus keys, percussion and guitars yet seems most comfortable behind the drumkit.

He lists his influences as bands like Big Country from his home town while growing up plus the musical skills of being with Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra (FIJO) and the mentoring from Richard Michael. Now based in London he has duetted with John Barrowman and supported Sister Sledge and Toploader.

He taught James Corden the Gay Gordons and appeared on shows like The Crown (Golden Globe, Emmy) and Made In Chelsea (BAFTA).

In 2016 long periods in hospital recovering from cancer meant time to write and a 24 track double album resulted called Medium Eyes, Blue Build. The new album has 15 tracks with a lead track See The Light which merges his jazz routes with progressive rock as the guitar kicks in.

We are promised some tour dates for later this year while we immediately can enjoy the new album.
