Tom Reid

Tom Reid was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, the fourth of ten children. He grew up to the sounds of his mother singing and he can’t remember a time he wasn’t singing himself. At age 11, he was sent to a religious boarding school. He worked and busked his way around London and Australia and settled back in London, he was encouraged to start songwriting when he was 60 and he has not stopped. His songs are pithy and relevant to the moment and folk. He delivers them in an extraordinary powerful voice which he accompanies on his guitar.
