About
Tom Flood is a folk singer for hire in Margaret River, WA.
American alt-country and blues, mid-Atlantic 60s folk revival, some Australian roots originals and a whisker of 60s and 70s pop. No backing tracks anywhere. Tom Flood plays acoustic guitar, harmonica and banjo, and has been doing it up and down the NSW East Coast at festivals and venues since the late 90s, with time in BluesAngels and Hallett/Flood. He moved to Margaret River in 2024 and started a fortnightly music club there the following year. Recent rooms include Witchcliffe Chapel, the Taphouse at Cowaramup and the Duck House Sessions. Solo concerts, venue gigs or house concerts, plugged or unplugged, and a duo or trio is available. Brings a 400W PA. Needs level, dry, covered space and a power point.
Watch
The show
You pick the shape and Tom Flood builds the set accordingly. A solo concert, a venue gig or a house concert, plugged into a PA or entirely unplugged. The material can lean 20th century folk blues, or 60s folk revival, or alt-country with a few pop songs threaded in, or a night of his own originals. A duo or trio can be supplied where you want more than one player.
On the day
Level ground, dry, with something over the top of it. A power point, and unloading access somewhere near the playing spot. He brings a 400 watt PA, so the venue doesn't need to own one. If yours does, he'll plug into it and needs two microphone inputs and two instrument inputs. Or the whole thing goes unplugged and none of it matters.
