December 2012
New Year is nearly upon us!
For those of you who are going, rest assured, that Tom's voice has fully recovered from his brief virus, and he is looking forward to entertaining you, and seeing the New Year in with you. It is going to be a great night!
Tom will be back there again on Saturday 12th January, so if you can't go on New Year's Eve, why not book a table for the 12th?
Merry Christmas!
As some of you may know, not everything went to plan!
Tom picked up a virus, which caused him to lose his voice, and was unable to sing in Eldon square on 21st and 22nd December. This came as big disappointment, to us, and of course meant he couldn't raise much needed funds for TOMA Fund on those days.
He did perform for Rotary Club, Newcastle West, in Eldon Square on 18th of December.
Together, Tom and Eve raised nearly £400 in about an hour and a half.
Happily, Tom rested his voice and is fully recovered and raring to go on New Year's Eve - his next public performance.
Tom's efforts get a mention in The Evening Chronicle...

The Chronicle also failed to spell Tom's name correctly, but if you have found your way to this page, that probably won't worry you!
Toma Fund do a fantastic job for the families of children and teenagers with cancer, so if you can get along to add to the funds being raised, we'd all be very grateful. Alternatively, it is possible to donate online at www.tomafund.org.
Find the times that Tom will be performing next Friday and Saturday here.
Last night at Marabini's
By the end of the night the place looked somewhat like a war zone - rarely have so many plates been smashed during "Zorba's Dance"! Tom's next stop at Marabini's will be New Year's Eve, which has been a sell out since before records began! For those who are going though, Tom is really looking forward to seeing you there! For those who aren't or can't, check out the Gig Dates page, as he has more dates there in the New Year!
Meanwhile, catch Tom in Eldon Square - he'll be there next on Tuesday Evening, between about 6:20pm and 8pm.

Tom sings for Toma
Over the last twelve months, Tom has raised well over £3,000 in aid of the charity, which helps the families of children and teenagers with cancer in the North East & Cumbria. He has become good friends with Andrea and Dave Thompson, Jordan's Mum and Dad. Andrea has steered the charity to raising over £600,000 since 2007 - an astonishing achievement.

Standing room only!
We all had a great night, and hope the diners did too. Leanne Clark certainly did! Leanne, pictured above with Tom, is Events Manager at Doxford Hall Hotel, and has booked Tom for events there in January, February and March. More details can be found here.
Thanks, as always to Giovanni and his marvellous staff for another great night. Tom is back there next on Saturday, 15th December. Book early to avoid disappointment!
Tom's next public appearance will be on Friday 7th December in Eldon Square.
