is needed now More than ever
Performing under the alias TS IDIOT, Tom has written three poems of his own during the crisis, with the poem Quarantine Realness featured on BBC Upload. Tom says: “That piece is part of my #pandemicpoems project – written and recorded pieces that other artists are responding to with their own. It’s been a really joyful way of staying connected with everyone so far.”
