Bio
Twenty year old singer/songwriter Thomas McConnell has become a well-respected and well-liked musician on the Liverpool music scene. A multi-talented musician, he has also played a number of venues around the country.
In 2012, Thomas was hand-chosen by China Crisis to support them on their anniversary tour and more recently, he has been supporting Ian McNabb (The Icicle Works) on his recent tour. Thomas has a strong song set on Soundcloud which has reached 25,000 plays and attracted over 2,500 followers.
Thomas’ debut EP and eponymous single, Stop in the Shade was released towards the end of 2012 and his music has had airplay on radio stations worldwide, including Radio Merseyside, BBC6 Music and various local and online stations. A raft of interviews and local internet TV channel chats has also kept him busy.
Thomas’ music-making takes influence from the great British pop/rock legacy of the 60s and 70s. His tunes are melodic and catchy, quirky and experimental. His love for the music of the Fab Four led to a request from Ian McNabb to arrange, produce and play all the instruments and backing vocals on McNabb’s recent cover of The Beatles’, All I’ve Got To Do, commissioned by and featured in Mojo magazine (August 2013). Thomas has just released his second EP, Worried About Thomas McConnell.
