About Me

- My name's Thom: an instrumentalist/composer/producer learning the trade at the great 'Leeds College of Music' on a BA Music Production course.
- I enjoy studying jazz and metal guitar, production, and have a passion for handcrafted instruments (someday i hope to be a luthier in my spare time). I also like anything to do with aircraft (mostly military) and cars.
- I'm quite tall, have brown hair, blue eyes, a lip, an eyebrow, and some ear piercings and a fairly cuddly beard depending on what you're used to stroking.
- I live in Headingley, Leeds, next to the cricket/rugby ground.
- I'm taken by my girlfriend Lucy, who i've happily been with for nearly 4 years (here's to 70 more!).
- I create music under the name 'Beneath the Arches':
