Through his work at the O2 Academy Bristol, Tom once again caught the attention of his fellow professionals and moved into the world of music and concert touring, touring with singer-songwriter Katy B in the summer of 2012 before picking up Lighting Designer and Director credits with artists as varied as Saint Etienne, Django Django, Palma Violets, Jessie Ware and The Family Rain, before picking up his first Knight Of Illumination sword for his work with Anna Calvi & The London Heritage Orchestra.
Now an established and in-demand creative, Tom continued his incredible career developing production, scenic and lighting designs for huge names such as The Hunna, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Coasts and Bullet For My Valentine, before being recognised with a second Knight Of Illumination win for Nick Mulvey’s Wake Up Now tour.
In 2020 Tom was recognised once again, this time by Total Production International magazine in their TPi Awards being shortlisted for Lighting Designer of the Year.
