Guilty

We say

Guilty by Scottish singer-songwriter Tommy Ashby is a beautifully brooding and hypnotic listen. Recorded in his bedroom and produced at Abbey Road by Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Sam Okell, the song explores infidelity and forgiveness. With its steady, heartbeat-like rhythm, softly hummed backing vocals and desert blues guitars offering the perfect accompaniment to the song’s confessional nature, the track is ideal for mellow playlists and radio plays. Having cut his teeth as a session musician for the likes of Jamie Lawson and Nina Nesbitt, he is now garnering tastemaker praise in his own right from Clash, Thank Folk For That, Jim Gellatly at Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing. He has already been lined up for a global advertising sync deal for his track Homesick and his cover for Somewhere Over The Rainbow was featured on the end titles of Big Talk’s Diana & I drama. Having played sold-out solo shows at The Islington and 57 Greek St this year he will be playing the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen next Tuesday (5 December) and recording a session for Sofar Sounds on 20 December. So if like us you value top quality songwriting then go and check him out.
