Artist Profile: Tom George.

When we put out the call for artist profiles, Tom George was very succinct:

"sharp, witty poetry and peerless pop songs from the street troubadour."


The video below will add weight to that sentiment and make sure that you come along to see him!



We all look forward to Tom's performance! See you at The Nerve Centre!
