Belfast songwriter Tom Gee launches his new EP 'Doubting Thomas' with a full-band performance, supported by Girl For Sale.
Tom Gee is back at Crescent Arts Centre on Saturday 14 November, launching his new EP Doubting Thomas as part of the Sound of Belfast Festival. It's his first EP release in more than a decade, a five-track record recorded and produced at Half-Bap Studios here in the city, and the launch party is the first time it'll be heard in full. The songs run across religion, politics, love, loss and laughter, and the night is billed as a full-band performance.
Gee is also the founder and curator of the Sunflower Sessions, a music night celebrating original artists and collaboration that's earned him a following in the Belfast scene. For this show, he's pulling from that same local pool: the band includes George Sloan, Adam Booth, Sarah McCreedy, M Alexander and Matt McIvor. Support comes from Girl For Sale, a songwriter and storyteller from Tyrone who was one of the original Sunflower Sessions performers.
