Revolutionary Rockstars
This is the Hard Rock Café brought to life through a high-octane 'rockumentary' performance. From the 1950s to modern day, Tom belts tunes from Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame stars past and present - from James Brown to Prince; Tina Turner to Freddie Mercury - explaining how they each changed the musical landscape forever, also suggesting which other artists deserve to join such an exclusive club! Educational, yes. Entertaining? Definitely.
2025 Audience Testimonials:
"Wow! My wife and I have cruised for many years and that's the best one-man show we've ever seen. The visuals were stunning, your range is incredible, and I loved the Meat Loaf section."
"So good, we were cheeky and came back to watch you perform it all over again for the second sitting! Amazing."
"Gosh, you really know how to captivate an audience!"
Spectacular Showtunes
A unique take on Musicals, Tom exposes just how versatile one has to be to perform on the West End by guiding the audience through the many genres and styles that exist within the cannon of theatre; traditional and contemporary, sophisticated and frivolous. From Les Mis to Sweeney Todd, Guys N Dolls to Jesus Christ Superstar - audiences are stunned by the biggest Broadway hits of all time.
2025 Audience Testimonials:
"My Father was Josef Locke, a famous Irish Tenor, but he couldn't have done the rep that you pulled off tonight young man! Amazing!"
"My favourite bit was when you started singing Christine's soprano bit in Phantom - that falsetto is just incredible."
"Can I just congratulate you on an exceptional show? That was spectacular. You sang songs we knew and songs we didn't - but we thoroughly enjoyed them"

Frankly Bubblés
The Swing scene had lain fallow since Frank Sinatra’s retirement in the early 70s. That is, until Bublé came along - a Sinatra for the modern age with added flair for note and phrase decoration influenced by modern pop music. Tom places some of Bublé's most famous hits alongside Sinatra's iconic numbers to see how they compare in this celebration of Swing showmanship.
