Tommy Newstead - Electric Guitarist - Shefford, East of England Event Location: Bush Hall, London Event Type: Performance 26th March 2025

Watching you is truly extraordinary. It's something that for a musician like me, is absolutely terrifying; how extraordinarily proficient you are and it makes me feel quite humbled.

When you played your original piece, the melodies that came out... the Spanish guitar going into the Yngwie Malmsteen - I was like, wow, this is extraordinary.

When I think of working with Tommy, the only word that comes to mind is VIRTUOSO! There are few human beings alive that can play like him. Book him now before he's so famous he won't play for you!
