Professional function band playing classic and modern rock and pop covers at Qudos.
Tom & The Clementynes play Qudos on Saturday 7 November, a night of classic and modern rock and pop covers. They're a professional functions band, and the set is built around those familiar songs rather than original material.
The band is fronted by Tom, who's known for his work with the loop pedal. He's joined by Owen Kent on bass and backing vocals — one of his longest friends — and drummer and backing vocalist Adam Colwell. Together they cover the ground of a few different eras, so you'll hear rock and pop from across the decades in a single set.
Tom's been at this for a while. He quit his day job in 2011 and has played over 1,000 gigs since, along the way releasing three EPs and two albums. He reached the quarter-finals of the Dorset Music Awards in 2012, came runner-up in the Salisbury Music Awards in 2012 and 2014, and was a semi-finalist in 'Bournemouth unplugged' 2012. He's also appeared on BBC Wiltshire's Live Lounge and BBC Introducing Solent. He's opened for The Wurzels, 2020 Grammy nominees Larkin Poe, Mark Chadwick of The Levellers, and Toploader.

During the 2020 lockdown, he recorded and released the EP Three Chords and Four Walls, which he's called his best work to date, and spent some time as a companion and activities worker in a residential home. His influences include Mark Knopfler, Lindsay Buckingham, Noel Gallagher, Seth Lakeman, and Paul Weller — names that lean towards guitar-led songwriting and classic British pop and folk. The gig is free.
