Thomas Western says he was born many moons too late but the truth is that he is making timeless music. He comes from Glossop, a former mill town on the edge of England's Peak District known as the birthplace of Vivienne Westwood and The League Of Gentlemen. The town also harbours a burgeoning folk scene and Thomas is its most magnetic performer. Whether he's singing standards like Banks Of Sweet Primroses, Dylan's Lay Down Your Weary Tune or his own compositions like Your Front Door, he gives them an air of fragility and otherworldliness.
