Award winning vocalist Tom Rust is a professional vocalist whose musical talent and interpretation has helped establish him as one of the UK's top singers.

He is the only male vocalist to receive a special award at the Marion Montgomery Awards at the Vetnor Jazz Festival. What sets Tom apart is his ability to be flexible with not only band line ups but also musical style. You could start your evening's entertainment with Rat Pack era songs and finish with more contemporary tunes including songs from the 60s 70s Disco 80s Blues Brothers/ Commitments.



Having studied Opera and attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama he developed careers not only as a performer but also as a session singer and recording artist in his own right. Perfomances throughout Europe for private and corporate events have helped to establish his growing popluarity.

Various reviews have praised Tom's performance...

'Tom's smooth voice gave the whole evening a touch of glamour. As soon as he started singing we were all itching to start dancing' - Celia Walden Editor of Spy Daily Telegraph

'Tom Rust's Rendition of Rat Pack era tunes was just perfect for a ball attended by the Rat Pack of Fleet Street. His performance was much appreciated on a night which raised a lot of money for the Newspaper Press Fund' Charles Garside Managing Editor Daily Mail

'Tom Rust has a voice of great character with subtlety to make swing sings really swing and enough edge to save ballads from blandness' - Dave Gelley Jazz Critic for the Observer

'You did a great job!' - Peter Gabriel

'Vocals are smooth but expressive in the same way as Jon Lucien's.  What more could you ask for?' - ab Music Week
