WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON: 10 JUN 2025 Tom Lewis Widely acknowledged as North America's finest exponent of contemporary nautical songs. - Canadian Society for Traditional Music Tom Lewis brings to the stage wry humour, button accordion, ukulele, a great voice and bridging the sea-going and folk-singing communities. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland; then moving to Gloucester, England, Tom joined the Royal Navy as an Engineering Apprentice just a few days after his sixteenth birthday and, posted to a naval training establishment in Scotland in 1960, he soon started frequenting THE HOWFF Folk Club, in Dunfermline where he was exposed to such luminaries as Willie Scott, Alex Glasgow, Ewan McColl and Archie Fisher, to name but a few. However, it was Cyril Tawney who came to have an enormous influence on Tom's own development as a writer & entertainer. During a 24 year naval career, Tom juggled the requirements of the service with a growing commitment to participating in folk clubs, concerts and festivals but it was meeting Lyn that coincided closely with Tom's first foray into songwriting. After completing his naval service in 1983, Tom & Lyn emigrated to the mountains of British Columbia and soon Tom was receiving calls to play music which eventually led to the couple decided to 'take the show on the road' for a while and see where the road might lead... We are delighted to welcome TOM LEWIS back to DARTFORD FOLK CLUB. Please do come early (Doors open at 7.15pm) if you are planning to sit with a large group of friends.
