John Tams

About

Described by Mojo as 'one of the ultimate British songwriters' John Tams has had a career spanning four decades in every medium.
A member of the Albion Band and fondly-remembered Home Service, he is perhaps best known for his work at the National Theatre and as Rifleman Daniel Hagman in the Sharpe television series - a role he played for five years alongside Sean Bean.
Tams is a five times winner of the BBC folk awards. His warm, tender-hearted and distinctive vocals remain among the most expressive and soulful in English music.
In 2006 Tams became musical director of the 2006 BBC Radio 2 Radio Ballads, an updating of Ewan MacColl's 1957 Radio Ballads series. In March 2008, he was nominated (with Chris Shutt and fellow composer Adrian Sutton) for an Olivier Award for his work on War Horse at the National Theatre.
Tams has made over 50 albums as singer, musician or producer, including three solo albums to date, all of which met with critical acclaim.
For this show, Tams will be joined by Pete Bullock (ex-Albion Band) on keyboards.
