He’s probably a face you recognise from Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent, now superstar singer TOM BALL is out on his first headline ‘Curtain Call’ bringing him to Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli on the 22nd of this month.
Tom has truly transformed from the humble teacher who first appeared on our TV screens to the global performer he is becoming. His eagerly awaited debut album is scheduled for release in May. The album promises a fantastic mix of self-penned songs and classic covers, showcasing Tom’s powerful vocals.
And as if to prove how grounded Tom is our scheduled interview took place from his car, in a shopping centre car park, on his way back from the recording studio. We always like to keep it real here.
We obviously spoke to Tom about the new album, his time on BGT and his appearance as Noodles the Cat. But first, he described where he was for his glamorous South Wales Life interview. Apologies for the video quality, but as we said – car park in a shopping centre, not the best for WiFi…..
Tom showcased his talents, receiving rave reviews, as a special guest to multi-platinum selling group The Overtones last Autumn on their biggest ever UK Christmas ‘Good Times’ tour, which saw him play a night at the New Theatre in Cardiff. Now his, 14-date tour will feature songs from the upcoming album, as well as stage and screen classics. For fans who’ve followed Tom’s journey from talent shows to the global stage, this headline tour is eagerly anticipated.
With early releases achieving eight No.1 rankings in international iTunes territories, with over 85 million views online and 4 million Spotify streams last year, Tom is making moves to hit the big time in 2024.
Tom signed to Westway Music in 2023 and the independent British label is excited to be releasing his debut album. Neil O’Brien, Founder & MD of Westway said, “Westway is the home of exceptional talent from the West End and Broadway and, having worked with the best of the best, we believe Tom is a world-class star with a passion for theatre and film and a huge potential to make a big impact in this world. This really is his ‘Curtain Call’! We are absolutely delighted to work with him.”
Tom’s most recent single ‘Winter Song’, was co-written by six-time Ivor Novello Award winner Gary Barlow OBE (Take That). The beautiful and timeless single was released in last December and showed off Tom’s extraordinary voice.
Tom said……
“Winter Song is such a beautiful song and having it lovingly written and very kindly given to me by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy is a dream. I was so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to sing it and have it on my debut album .”
Co-writer of ‘Winter Song’, Grammy Award winning producer Eliot Kennedy, who has written and produced hit songs for The Spice Girls, Celine Dion, and Boyzone, added…..
“Tom is a wonderful talent, and I was thrilled to hear him sing this song written by Gary Barlow and myself.”.
2024 is set to be an exciting year for Tom and his fans, with new music, a brand-new album and a tour to look forward to!
Talking on the news of his own tour and album, Tom told us……
“I am over the moon and thrilled to be going on my first ever UK tour in March, April and May 2024 which coincides with the release of my debut album ‘Curtain Call’ on Westway! 2023 has been the most incredible year and I’m so excited for this new adventure going into 2024.”
