Tom Baxter, Anne-Marie Allen

The Wakes in Oakengates, Telford is privileged to have been selected to be part of the Independent Venue Week (IVW) 2020 Programme of Live Original Music. Of the 15 venues selected by IVW in the West Midlands The Wakes is the only Shropshire venue included.

Tom Baxter, one of the most distinguished song craftsmen of the 21st century, makes his long-awaited return with 'The Other Side of Blue', his first official release in a decade.

Tom made his name with such heart-stopping originals as 'Better,' 'Almost There' and 'Day in Verona’. He's admired by the likes of Tom Waits, Rufus Wainwright, and actor David Schwimmer.

Anne-Marie is currently performing her gigs with Dominic James Hyde on guitar. Anne-Marie's third BBC radio play was the title track for her debut EP "Intuition" in which BBC described the track as "Stunning...confident, and a lovely maturing sound that... takes you to another place."

Tickets (£10) available now at The Wakes venue, and online at ww2.theticketsellers.co.uk (search for The Wakes)
