"hey, I didnt actually know Tom but tonight I went to the tribute gig, at the Corn exchange in Cambridge and I thought it was truly amazing and I am sure Tom is looking down proud of everyone who played. well done everyone"
Early reviews of the Gig were upbeat, and the respected independent www. Cambridgebands.com commented -
Overall, a strong night, some fantastic talent, and I hope that it all happens again next year. Support for this should be, and is, strong. Everyone went home happy and as the last strains of Jerusalem faded away, into the night I am sure Tom was loving it.
Paul T of FMS promotions said; I would like to thank all those who turned up and supported the event, plus the whole of the local music and media community who have banded together to make this such a special night. This event was a great memorial for Tom and a gathering of young people and music fans of all ages from across the UK and a truly great way to celebrate life of a talented youngster who was on the edge of success .
