ABOUT CHAIR BLOCKS

Workshop pic.jpg

Tom has over 25 years experience as a freelance violinist having worked with a variety of  UK orchestras, studios and West End theatres, as well as being the founder and director of the High Society Orchestra.

He is currently violinist for the Bootleg Beatles and works regularly with the Bournemouth Symphony and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Until recently Tom was principal violin for the RAF Salon Orchestra.

Combining his experience as a musician with his family's creative background as artists, he  created, designed and produced Chair Blocks to address the common issue many musicians face, of how to cope with poor seating at venues across the UK.

​Since launching Chair Blocks in 2023, they have been ​well received up and down the UK with individuals and orchestras alike.

Tom lives in Marlborough, Wiltshire with his two children and is registered with MAS diary service where he can also be contacted.
