Tom Nicholas

Tom Nicholas is a Folk/Acoustic musician from Crafthole, Cornwall. Having played in a few local bands, he started playing solo at the age of 17 with a batch of self-penned songs. A lot of gigging, writing and rewriting ensued until now, a year later he released his debut EP.
After proving himself over a summer of festival shows he went to April Media Productions in Plymouth to record the songs that had stood the test of time.
The 5 tracks on the EP draw on contemporary folk influences and introduce use of the mandolin that's become a highlight of the live show.
