Check out Tom Kimber from Newcastle, England here with us on Mandolin Mondays this week. Incredible original jig played on his killer Davidson F5 Mandolin.



Tom is a Newcastle Upon-Tyne based multi-instrumentalist who specialises in fretted strings and is most often seen playing mandolin and tenor banjo, as well as tenor guitar and mandola.

Originally from Bath, he reached the final stages of the BBC Young Folk awards before moving to Newcastle in 2011 to study Folk and Traditional music at Newcastle University. After graduating in 2015, he won the renowned Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow with his band, Pons Aelius. He has since completed a masters degree at Newcastle University, with a focus on composing and performing contemporary mandolin repertoire. With his two main bands, he has released numerous albums and performed at venues and festivals in the UK and Europe.

Besides performing, Tom is a dedicated educator and offers private lessons, alongside running a workshop/band in Hexham called Hexham Bluegrass, which performs regularly in the local area. Contact him through his website for online lesson inquiries: https://tomkimbermusic.com/
