Why do I support this project? I wanted to say something about in the dark ages monks kept the light of civilization alive in isolated monastic communities beset by rampaging vikings. Tom is no Saint Cuthbert and Stockton is certainly no Holy Island but you know what I mean. And Tom’s tolerance, encyclopedic knowledge and enthusiasm make his record shop a haven, a refuge for all comers. I’ve helped fund the project because I believe in the people involved, want to see it made and cannot wait to see Tom B on the big screen.
The first and last record I bought:
First: I think the first record I bought was 99 red balloons by Nina; that German, cold war, pop classic.
Last: Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five. I can’t remember the exact title and I’m ashamed to say this purchase was some years ago. But in my defence, I can say it was bought in ‘Sound It Out Records.
