They've got him surrounded!

The evening began, with his mix of Musical Theatre, Il Divo, and classical numbers. A gentleman came up and requested "Time to say Goodbye" - not a song Tom normally performs (for a Baritone, it is quite high at the end!), but he obliged to warm applause.
After a short break, he built up through some swing into his upbeat repertoire, and introduced a few more new songs. He was asked for Mr Brightside by The Killers, a new addition, and later followed it up with another of theirs - Somebody Told Me.
He went on, and on, with lots of dancing, and at the end, finished on ABBA's Thank You For The Music - by which time (see above) he was surrounded by dancers!
Tom said "the diners at Marabini's are always such a lovely audience to sing to - it was a really fun night!". This is borne out by a post on Tom's facebook page today:
"Really enjoyed the show last night and next time we're going to ask for a better table. We were pushed too far away. We would have danced earlier if we'd been in "The centre forward" position!!
Many thanks!!" - Michael Floyd
[Editor: And later received a message from Geoff Gordon:
Saw you at Marabini's last Saturday night. Was brill!]
Tom's next public gig is the Final of UK Festival4Stars in Runcorn on 18th November. That is probably too far for most of you though, so how about Tuesday 27th November, in Eldon Square, or Thursday 29th November at The Bay Horse, Whickham?
Tom will be back at Marabini's on Saturday, 1st December 2012.
