OCTOBER- 2009
TOM HINGLEY the lead vocalist of legendary indie band INSPIRAL CARPETS, has a brand new album out this month, and is currently out touring across the UK. His new solo album "Thames Valley Delta Blues" (New Memorabilia) is a sequel to Tom’s critically acclaimed 2000 album release, "Keep Britain Untidy". It is a record that sees Tom discussing the world in 2009 including mass consumerism, debt, recession and ecstasy. His singing style incorporates Soul, R and B, and Jazz, while his delivery is technically superior, and easily more emotive than many of his contemporaries. So much so that Lenny Kravitz was moved to comment 'You should be singing on Broadway' after witnessing Tom singing live at a television recording.
