Tom Robinson with Adam Phillips Live

A live evening with Tom Robinson, a British punk songwriter and broadcaster, joined by Adam Phillips, aboard The Golden Hinde, a Tudor galleon moored on St Mary Overie Dock in London.

Tom Robinson began in the mid-1970s in Café Society, an acoustic harmony trio whose first album was produced by Ray Davies of The Kinks. Inspired by punk, Robinson then formed the Tom Robinson Band, which had a chart hit with 2-4-6-8 Motorway and recorded Glad to Be Gay, an early LGBT anthem. The band's debut album, Power in the Darkness, placed at number four in the British charts.

Robinson was also an early backer of Rock Against Racism and performed at its events alongside The Clash, Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex. Over five decades, the musician has worked with Elton John and Peter Gabriel, toured with The Police and The Undertones, and built a career in broadcasting, including BBC Introducing shows that give airtime to emerging artists.

This evening features Robinson live with Adam Phillips on board The Golden Hinde, a historic Tudor galleon. The venue mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The night will appeal to listeners interested in British punk and in the songwriting of the period.
