Their melodic, harmony-driven songs are strong and concise from the outset, and having been touring as a 4 piece for less than a year have already supported ‘The South’, ‘Go West’, and prog legends ‘Marillion’ at their 2015 convention.

"As soon as I heard their first song, I thought, Brilliant ! At last, a proper band, great vocals, well crafted songs and some great musicianship"

- Stuart Epps, 2014

"When I first listened to Ginger Tom it was because it's my job to do so. 6 Months on, I now listen to them because it is my pleasure to do so. I don't just play their tracks on my radio show, I play them on my car stereo on the school run - because there is no better way to start the day than singing along to "7 Years"

- Christian Carlisle - BBC Introducing, 2014
