Close friends of Tom's, Jack McNeill and Charlie Heys are two of the folk scenes brightest young stars. Finalists in The BBC Young Folk Awards, they have gone on to delight audiences nationwide ever since. Tom appears on their 2010 album "The Northern Road" and has played in trio settings with them as well as in their large group "Old Dance School with Jack McNeill and Charlie Heys" collaborations. Tom is due to join them in the studio for their third album this summer.

" This is real folk — not nu-folk, folktronica or some other apologetically named subgenre — and it doesn’t seem to need reinventing."

"Praise, I feel should be heaped upon percussionist Tom Chapman, for his dynamic work on cajon and frame drum throughout [The Northern Road], along with Helen Lancaster and Samantha Norman, for their delightful contributions to The Wolf and the Woodpecker."
