Brilliant International Musicians Series: Tom Gamble (guitar)
Tom Gamble – Guitar
Described by BBC Radio as “one of the UK’s most exciting and versatile guitarists,” Tom Gamble is a London-born musician whose playing defies genre. Starting out in local pubs and venues, he was encouraged by guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel to pursue solo performance, later studying classical guitar at Trinity Laban Conservatoire under Graham Anthony Devine, where he won the Gladys Puttick Improvisation Competition.
He went on to earn a Master of Music in classical guitar at the University of British Columbia, winning first prize at the Northwest Guitar Competition in 2016 and performing widely across Canada and the USA. Since returning to London in 2017, Tom has built an international career as a performer and recording artist. He has released five solo albums to critical acclaim, with his latest, On an Ocean, featured on BBC and international radio stations.
