I’m in a really good mood tonight, because I found an email sent today from the former editor of NME, Q, Mojo and Word magazines, saying this: “Hi Thom, Many thanks for sending the CD, I’ve been listening to it a lot and have to say, Congratulations! So many outstanding songs there and your performance
My Name is Thom and I Live Here
Thom Morecroft is not just a short, excitable, and scruffy young man from Shropshire. He is also a fine addition to a growing cannon of Liverpool-based songwriters, extensive original material and (surprisingly) powerful voice have earned him a reputation on the local circuit.
Review of the New Album “Moon Moon Shake It” from Liverpool Acoustic
http://liverpoolacoustic.co.uk/2013/03/album-review-thom-morecroft-moon-moon-shake-it/ Just had a review of the new album posted today, so I thought I would share here! “Thom Morecroft has been a fixture on the local acoustic circuit for a while now. No matter if he’s hosting an evening down on Penny Lane, or headlining his own gig at View Two, you know you’re
Threshold Festival: Squirrel Sax, Thom Morecroft and Paul Du Noyer
So along came March, and perhaps given some pretty dubious interpretations, spring as well. But I was full of joy and excitement. Every time I left the house, I was clicking my heels. Most days anyway. Threshold Festival for me didn’t just mean a very busy Sunday. It was going to be a very fun,
From The Album Launch to the End of Ferbuary
It has been an obscenely long time since I last posted anything new on the website, so I’ll start where I left off I suppose: the album launch in the View Two Gallery on December 1st. It went remarkably well, really. Beyond word-of-mouth, there was no publicity campaign; no posters, no flyers, no promoter, no
Looking Back on November, Being on BBC Radio 6 AGAIN and the New Album Launch on December 1st
Haven’t ‘blogged’ anything for a while, apologies for those of you who like to keep up to date! I’ll start with early on in the month, when me, Chris Cousineau, Elle Schillereff and James Baxter made our way down to Balham for a gig at the Bedford. Not only did we really enjoy playing, but
Some Footage From Outside The Lark Lane Acoustic Festival!
"Daisy" Earlier this month, with the helpful of my partner in crime and percussionist Chris Cousineau, I played at a refreshing event called the Lark Lane Acoustic Festival hosted by Neil Campbell (the man who, to all intents and purposes is classical guitar music in Merseyside) and conveniently bumped into James Addis of Addistock. James
Having A Song On Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape for BBC6!!
Feeling pretty happy. Tired, but happy nonetheless. Last summer, I wrote and recorded a short and quick song called “Sexy Shade of Sunburn” as a lo-fi home demo. A couple of weeks ago, after entering via a soundcloud drop-box, it was included in a playlist for BBC6 and was chosen by Tom Robinson himself as
Recording Sessions at Crosstown Studios
Over the 21st and 22nd July, Christope Cousineau, Elle Schillereff, James Baxter and I got together at Crosstown Studios to record live takes (and a few overdubs) of an EP which should be out by November this year. It was a funny couple of days. All in all, very fun. The sessions are currently undergoing
