Today was the North East & Cumbria, Regional Final of the prestigious UK Festival 4 Stars. Held at The Lancastrian Suite, Dunston Gateshead, Tom was competing in the 15 - Adult Solo Singer Category, and the standard of competition was high.

As previously reported, Tom won through the Durham Heat in May, and we are pleased to report that today Tom was a Regional Winner and is through to the National Final, to be held in November. As a Regional Winner, we understand Tom "will be asked to sign a twelve month contract which will include mentoring by industry professionals and a showcase of their talent to major record labels".

Congratulations to all the other category winners! It has been a great day - and a great event.

Tom leaves for the USA tomorrow, and his next public appearance will be at Marabini's Ristorante, Morpeth on 28th July 2012.

Last night Tom was dining at Louis' Restaurant in Jesmond, and joined Pete Brown for a song. The diners clearly enjoyed their version of "Me and My Shadow", and Tom followed it up with Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".

Tom was touched by the many positive comments he received, including those from the staff, who also commented on his talents. And, incidentally, we can advise readers that theirs are the best Prawn Spring Rolls we've ever had!!

So thanks to Pete and the staff at Louis' for being so hospitable, and making it such an enjoyable evening.

Tom is off to the USA for three weeks shortly, but will be back mid July, and you can catch his next public performance at Marabini's in Morpeth on 28th July 2012. Just before he goes of course, he has the North East Final of UK Festival 4 Stars on 24th June.

Tom called in to Ristorante Fratelli in Ponteland last night, and Pete Brown was there singing. He and Tom enjoyed a chat, and they sang a few songs together, to the delight of the diners! Their rendition of the Sinatra/Davis Jr "Me and My Shadow" went down very well.

Thanks to Marcello and to Pete for their hospitality, hope to see you both again soon. Check Pete out on his website.
