It is very unusual to find a player who is creative and fluent on two very different instruments, but Thom excels on both the trumpet and guitar.

He is undoubtedly a rising star on the jazz club and festival circuit and is extremely popular with musicians and audiences alike.

He brings a wealth of jazz history to his playing and also possesses an individual voice of his own.

Thom performs in many different combinations, but for this event in Louth he is bringing The Thom Whitworth Trio, on stage at Masons which also includes Dave Shields on electric bass and Stevie Smith on drums.
