The Orchestra of Stories is out now!

It's no longer mine, it's yours! And to coin an overused modern day phrase, what a journey it has been to get here. I just hope you love it as much as I loved making it. Listen here: tomhickox.lnk.to/theorchestra...
What a treat to be playing The Stables in Milton Keynes for the first time on November 18th. Special venue, and tickets still available for this one. The songs and stories will be overflowing!

Always wanted to be put in Room 101! Thanks to my Berlin hotel for giving me this long cherished dream 😂. I left behind a jar of mayonnaise, a swarm of wasps and a self-service supermarket checkout.
Really fun 24 hours in Berlin, playing live on Radio Eins, joined by superstar compadres Shez Sheridan and Martin Wagemann. 🇩🇪🎺🎹🎸🎤

Back on Tuesday to play a concert at Prachtwerk. Tickets still available!
Again featuring the exquisite playing of The Chineke! Orchestra and Onyx Brass, I hope you enjoy these deeper cuts!

Listen on all your usual digital platforms. 😃.

A radio edit of “The Whole of the Moon” 🌕
