Tom is famous for his starring roles in the classic Australian movies ‘The Man from Snowy River’ and ‘Phar Lap’, as well as numerous other film, stage and TV appearances in a career spanning more than 40 years.
In the 1990’s Tom revealed that as well as being a very talented actor, he also had an amazing voice. His first professional singing engagement was as the voice of the young Frank Sinatra in the Warner Brothers mini-series ‘Sinatra’. He later created his own show in celebration of the great man, ‘Frank-A Life in Song’, which became hugely successful all around Australia and overseas. Then followed the national tour of ‘Now We’re Swingin’!’, in which Tom paid homage not only to Sinatra, but also to some of the other great stars of vocal Swing.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this fine showman renowned for his smooth style and stellar performance skills in an unforgettable evening of musical excellence. Marvellous songs, exhilarating arrangements and prime musicians will make this presentation shine with brilliance!
