What Are My Two Toms Up To Now?
The melodies are direct, memorable, and inseparable from the interlocking harmonies that are weaved around them. My Two Toms carries the traditions of the most memorable music; the complexity found deep within the drone of the Appalachian Mountains, the spiraling melodies of Northumberland pipe tunes, a simple song that stands well the test of time and is remembered not in a crazy-making way but as an old friend. – Charlie Parr, April 2006
My Two Toms are not from the Appalachians, but from Bristol and they played a wonderful set of rough and ready banjo music at my leaving party a few years ago. I miss their music a lot and I wish they would come to play some shows in Shanghai. I’m sure it would go down really well here. I want to get hold of their first two albums that have just been rereleased on Mole in the Ground Records. The video gives you a flavour of what they do, but check out their websites and send them a nice message urging them to come to Shanghai. I will.
