Beggars Bridge
Beggars Bridge...
Modern folk based on great traditions.With their sound based on percussive fingerpicked guitar, Beggar's Bridge take great inspiration from British revivalists such as Davey Graham, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Richard Thompson.
They create memorable tunes with compelling lyrics that convey tales of people, places and
events, in the best traditions of folk music, with the added dimension of a modern perspective, and their song-stories rarely fail to engage the listener from start to finish.

Tom Wright
Tom Wright
From an early age, Tom was brought up on rockabilly and country music from both of his parents, going to see bands as often as he could, along with watching his dad's band.
At 7 years old, his dad bought him his first guitar, a 3/4 size acoustic, and taught him a few chords. He eventually played it so much, he had worn a hole through the guitar body! He then progressed to get an electric guitar, and started listening to guitarists such as Albert Lee, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, trying to emulate their tone, licks and phrasing.
By 14, he was already travelling up and down the country, playing professionally with shows like the Johnny Cash Story, a tribute to Lonnwww.tomwrightguitar.com
ie Donegan, and an original country band called Midwezt.
At 17, he joined the Elio Pace band, of which had been BBC Radio 2's house band for the
previous 2 years. He is still playing for Elio, and they are currently touring all around the UK performing the music of Billy Joel, in The Billy Joel Songbook.
Tom also fronts his own band and his first solo album is due for release on June 29th. For full details and contact visit... www.tomwrightguitar.com
