We’re delighted that Sunderland’s Tom A. Smith is set for Liverpool on his first headline tour. In the past couple of years, Smith has become a nationwide sensation, having already performed at Glastonbury before he was even in secondary school.

He was handpicked by Tim Burgess to play his stage at Kendal Calling, making him the festival’s youngest ever performer, and has grown from a kid with big dreams into one of the country’s most exciting guitar acts.

Having already supported some of his heroes in Sam Fender and Catfish and The Bottlemen, it surely won’t be long before he’s featuring on the big stage. Catch a glimpse at a star of the future at Jimmy’s in December.
