He Doesn't Look A Thing Like Jesus

About Me

Hi I'm SIR tom CHARLES esq. A Retro Indie Boy! Some Meaningless Facts About Myself:

1. I'm Left-handed like Mr Noel Gallagher but sadly am unable to play like him and he's plays Right-handed, WTF!!!

2. My RIGHT Arm and GOOD Side of My Face have appeared on Top of The Pops, and Yes the only reason I went was to see OASIS.

3. I have been to The Springer Show and IT IS Funnier when you are actually there (is it supposed to be a comedy programme, I'm not sure).

4. When drunk I DON'T DANCE, I BOUNCE (apparently).

5. 487 People have said I look like Simon Amstell, which I now take as a compliment! I am still yet to find a Miquita Oliver.

6. I once have a Drunken Fight with a suited bloke over a BOX, I WON!

7. People seemed to have a fascination with my glasses, I'm not sure why maybe it was the fact I DID go to Specsavers!

8. I Went to TRL along with My Wonderful Sunglasses to see Dave Grohl wearing the best Bizarre from D12 costume you'll ever see.

9. Appeared in the NME as DAN, 23 that's not even close! Who would want to be a Dan anyway!? (sry tom).

10. Nicknamed The Bionic Man by some people, after 2 Metal Plates WERE inserted into my jaw, they are STILL there.

11. I'm 1 half of an ULTRA - CLEAN (maybe not Ultra - Clean living) Band ;-).

12. I have a Soft Spot for ABSINTHE, Too Much of one :-D.

I'm a Photojournalism Student. Hoping to work with in the Press taking Photographs once I finish studying. Would like to be either a general Photojournalist, a Music or Travel Photographer. I've taken Pics of quite a few Bands and enjoy the combination of 2 things I Love, Women & Beer! j/k (Live Music & Photography!). I recently exhibited a selection of my music photos this May and was lucky enough to have the infamous white jeans and all round dodgy dress sense merchant Johnny Borrell attend. In the Last few Months I have opened a New Gallery / Shop online showcasing a selection of My Photos. Its updated quite regularly and my 'ARTy' Photos taken around London are now up, go check them out!

New Website www.tomcharles.co.uk

My Photo Store still remains at www.photoboxgallery.com/tomcharlesphotos I'm always Giggin' around London, quite often with Camera In-Hand and am always on the look out for New Bands .
