Singer-songwriter Tom Bright is set to perform live at an intimate Northumberland venue this spring.

Bright is scheduled to return to The Hearth Arts Centre on Saturday, May 23, following a performance at the venue last year.

Mr Bright has gained national acclaim and radio support from figures including BBC Radio 2’s Rev Kate Bottley, BBC 6 Music’s Guy Garvey, and Radio X’s John Kennedy.

A spokesperson for The Hearth said: "After appearing at Northumberland’s cosy arts space last year, esteemed singer-songwriter Tom Bright will be returning on Saturday 23 May to perform a very special, intimate concert for us."

Mr Bright’s career continues to gather momentum, with his third television appearance on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live in 2025, alongside a fifth Glastonbury Festival performance and sold-out shows across the UK and beyond in the same year.

His growing résumé includes performances at iconic venues such as the London Palladium and Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

Mr Bright has featured on BBC’s The One Show and Sky News, recorded numerous live sessions for major radio stations, and supported acts such as The Libertines, Mystery Jets, Tom Grennan, Reverend & The Makers, Ed Harcourt, and Katherine Priddy.

Widely praised for his emotionally resonant songwriting, Mr Bright has spent two years on Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist with the track If I Met Your Shadow.

He has also collaborated with The The and earned continued support from tastemakers Guy Garvey and John Kennedy.

His recent release, Young Old Bloke, features early songs produced by Mick Jones of The Clash and Dirty White.

Mr Bright has released three albums to date, all produced by Ed Harcourt.

Outside of music, his life story is equally remarkable; he was once the UK’s youngest pub landlord and has overcome multiple life-saving surgeries as a child.

Tickets for the Horsley show are limited and available through The Hearth’s website: www.thehearth.co.uk/event-details/tom-bright-1.
