The Fleece Inn Orchard, WR11 7JE
Description
This is an outdoor, standing show, so come prepared with rain or sun protection!
Tom Meighan is an English rock singer and former lead vocalist of Kasabian. Enjoying large-scale success with Kasabian in the 2000s and 2010s, Meighan has been compared to Liam Gallagher, whom Tom himself has referred to as the “perfect frontman.”
Meighan was a founding member of Kasabian along with guitarist Sergio Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, and drummer Ian Matthews, with the band releasing their eponymously titled debut album in 2004. Topping the British album’s chart, ‘Kasabian’ was a critical success too, and six more bestsellers were to follow.
Known for his energetic and charismatic performances, Meighan has been praised for both his powerful vocals and his ability to connect with a live audience.
In 2013, Tom Meighan was ranked number 13 on Radio X’s list of the greatest frontmen of all time.
Backed only by acoustic guitar and a stomp-box, Tom Meighan – the voice of Kasabian – flays things to fundamentals in a skilfully stripped back set of primal and shamanic energy that virtually generates its own electricity. RAW ’24 is a far from sedate acoustic show that has been slaying grassroots venues across the UK this year, clearly demonstrating Meighan’s undiminished vocal prowess, and renewing his lease on the songs that made him.
A favourite of several locals, currently walking the Cotswolds Way to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, this is their brainwave to create more awareness and funds for the worthy charity.
