Aged just 23, Tom Wardle is Nottingham's most prolific performer, racking up close to 220 gigs in 2008 alone and matching that feat again in 2009. His unmistakeable powerful, raspy vocals and pop sensibility have served him well on the live scene, where he currently holds residencies at the University of Nottingham, Snug Lounge Club and Bluu (Nottingham) as well as, from March 2010, appearing regularly at London's celebrated Mahiki in Mayfair.
In February 2010, Tom released his long awaited debut EP "Another Late Night" simultaneously on ITunes and Spotify, as well as a 500 limited-edition first run that sold out in a matter of gigs and is in its second pressing.
Tom has been working full time as a singer/guitarist/frontman and dodging the 9 to 5 from the age of 16, learning the trade and serving his apprenticeship with his first band 8 Idle Hands, supporting rock legends Slade and The Sweet along the way. Since disbanding them in 2006, he has worked closely with acclaimed songwriter Tim Kellet (Simply Red, Olive) and producer Steve Bush (Stereophonics) on songs for Tom's own catalogue, supported his teenage idol Mark Morris of The Bluetones, as well as playing session guitar, most recently playing on the demos for James Morrisson's "Songs For You, Truths For Me" album.
Tom Wardle is currently writing, road-testing and stockpiling and eclectic new batch of songs for his follow up EP, planned for release in autumn 2010.
