Hey! I’m playing in Haworth Park, Hull, this Saturday 3rd May — then at Ripon Beer Festival, Ripon Cathedral, on bank holiday Monday 5th May. Check out my myspace page for more details on these two events!
After that - Kro Bar, Manchester on 10th May with Jon Gomm is going to be a great gig I think - more details on that soon! And straight after that, off to New York and Atlanta, for the Mahoneyfest - can’t wait!

I’m playing in a pirate-themed bar on Friday, 11th January… It’s the Hark to Towler in Tottington. Drinks are pretty cheap, and it’s free entry… always a good night there!
Check out their (colourful!) website for details: http://www.hark2towler.co.uk/ It’s dead easy to get from Manchester to the bar by public transport too!
Hi everyone - Happy new year!

Really enjoyed playing the Winelight Club in Bury. Here’s a link to a review from Manchester Music (please click link to read full review - here’s a small excerpt - really chuffed to get such a good review:
….
Probably the star of the evening is TOM KERSWILL, a familiar face on the city circuit and very much a one man band. Tom’s energetic approach to his music finds him on cue with work boots, well worn jeans and maybe his favourite t-shirt. He’s casual in image but so absolutely meticulous when it comes to songwriting. His guitar style eschews finger picking for the best part, with his dynamic strums sometimes feverishly staggering between big chord crashes. The songs are perfectly trim and crammed with infectious, serious melodies. There’s not just one or two gems here but a whole string of tunes that hook you in to the observational lyrics as the set is interspersed with tales from the road and anecdotes about missed trains. “My Mind’s Eye” is one of Tom’s signature tunes and I for one hope that more people get to hear and see him play.
….
Hey everyone - I’m playing at the Met in Bury tonight, together with Patrick Briscoe, Fallen Leaves, Rachael Wright… I’m really looking forward to it. Tickets are £6 and the other artists are some of my favourites!
Cheers
Tom

Brand new this year is a completely unofficial, alternative fringe event. It hosts over 50 gigs, art exhibitions and other events. We’re running a special Songs for the Bath Tub event at Trof in the Northern Quarter. And I’m being interviewed and doing a live set on Manchester’s all fm on monday 9th July, 3-4pm.
Okay, so I’m not actually playing at this one, but I thought I’d let you know about it anyway. It starts at 7.30pm tonight (Tuesday 26th June), £3, and we have:
It’s gonna be really ace - looking forward to it!

I’ve had a rest-day today… headed up deep into the Appalachian mountains. It was little bit misty up there, but still amazing. The trip is almost at an end though… one more day left tomorrow, then I’m heading back to Manchester in time for Tuesday morning. We’ve got a really good mini-tour coming up after that.
Got some other good stuff coming up too - so keep in touch!
Tom
Hi,
