Live concert by Sunderland singer-songwriter Tom A Smith at The Sugarmill in Hanley.
Tom A Smith plays The Sugarmill on Friday 13 November, a headline show in the heart of Hanley. He's a Sunderland singer-songwriter who's been at this since he was very small — he picked up his first guitar at four and played his first gig at eight. He's described as one of the North East's most exciting songwriters, and Sir Elton John has put in a word of endorsement for him. The set is built on razor-sharp writing, a big live energy and a voice that's hard to mistake.
He's spent a fair bit of time on the road, sharing stages with Sam Fender, Catfish and the Bottlemen and James, and playing Glastonbury, The Great Escape and Neighbourhood Weekender. He's also done support slots for Courteeners, Miles Kane, Gang of Youths and Sunset Sons, so he's well used to playing for crowds of all sizes. This is a headline date, though, with Smith taking the full spotlight rather than warming up for someone else.
