Last Summer BB Skone received a tip off about an exciting young singer/songwriter who was playing Open Mics around the county - Tomos Newman of Martletwy. BB went along to see him perform at an afternoon gig on Saundersfoot Harbour and was so impressed he invited Tomos into the Pure West Studios for a live session which was very well received.
At that time Tomos was only playing covers but now he has recorded his first album of original songs, called Evermore, and he's still only 17 years of age. The album was recorded at StudiOwz in Clarbeston and launched at a show in the Reading Rooms at Manorbier (pictured) when he was joined on stage by musicians on fiddle, sax, and cajon with Tomos playing guitar and banjo. The album is now generally available - check out Tomos Newman on Facebook or Instagram for further details.
All songs this week are taken from the album, which is an assured and passionate work and bodes well for Tomos's future musical career.
Local Artist of the Week: TOMOS NEWMAN.
