Tom Emlyn Band
Clwb Ifor Bach
13.4.24


I ran through streets, cottages with no doors, trees with no lights, and cars with no humans to witness tonight. My ears and eyes need to tell my brain what to write so here we go music lovers… I'm coming into this one full of love and generosity!

I’ve followed Tom’s music for a good while now and will always rock up and try and scum a guest list spot if I can, or rattle my pocket until the doorman lets me in.

Tom and his band sound bewtafull, well rehearsed, fun, and most importantly full of beans. I’ve always been a fan of Tom’s stage presence and also the words that fall out of his mouth so I’m currently a very happy chappy.

His music fits the Clwb stage well, the sound this eve is very good, I don’t have ear plugs in and it’s not killing me, to be fair to the gods of sound.

Their set has a great flow to it, great to see Evan from Rainyday Rainbow tickling the bass, cracking Gromit.

I also like that Tom’s shirt matches his guitar, very enjoyable. I’d see Tom play anywhere to be fair; Clwb, a farm, Lidl, IDK, literally anywhere.

They’re playing ‘Cover Band’ now which slaps and I’m very glad he’s not in a cover band but ho hey corker of a song Yesyesyes.

“Smoking is bad but it looks cool.”

Smelling fucking solo for that smoking song my gosh, proper good bit of music very much appreciated in the ears.

Also the solo for the last song was mind blowing, stinking, and gave off the same vibes as the solo from the SpongeBob Movie, great set from a great human.

All in all a cracking night - Tom’s sister performed wonderfully next to him also adding pretty harmonies to his delicate words, the chat, the music, the drip, the vibes, a very happy time.

I spoke to Tom and he said he’s looking to gig more with the band so be sure to hunt this fucker down and have him impregnate your ears with songs every boy and every girl should know.

Mr Pickett.
