TG McEwan – Performance History

A work in progress!

Tom McEwan’s first gigs were in the Washington DC area while still at high school, and included him performing original songs at religious services! On return to Scotland he performed original material at school concerts and then folk clubs in St Andrews and Edinburgh, as well as running a weekly open mic (“The Wee Mary Music Night”) throughout university. This led to his first paid performances:

For around two years he played in the London Underground, on the streets in The Netherlands, and outside the Pompidou Centre in Paris, with occasional bar gigs, floor spots at folk clubs in various towns and cities, before starting to tour the UK college circuit and get residencies in Edinburgh bars and also in Haarlem, in The Netherlands, where there was record company interest, following the release of the first album Messages.

Often playing as a duo with Tony Wright, Tom started to get support slots to established acts.

Kate and the 7 Horses Tour (1981)

After a month in The Netherlands playing various showcase gigs with Lennie Harvey and local musicians, Lennie and Tom decided to return to the UK and played their “Kate and the Seven Horses” tour around the Shetland Islands.  During construction of Sullom Voe, Shetland Islands gig fees were enough to sustain a duo or trio, but this was not true in the rest of Scotland and the duo was forced to split up. Edinburgh pubs and the occasional students union kept the wolf from the door (fees in brackets below)

Releasing Down at The Fiddlers’ Arms on vinyl, Tom resumed popping up at folk clubs to do floor spots and sell a few records. He then spent a month in Regensburg, Germany, playing bars and on the streets, and arranged a tour later in the summer following some UK appearances. This was then followed by nine months of intense touring, playing over a hundred gigs.

Now based on Tyneside, Tom released a second 7” EP, After the Festival, and then a mini-album on cassette, Grey Paris. This led to several more UK tours, another eighty gigs in nine months. During this time he developed an alternative cabaret, semi-scripted show Live in Paris! Following experimentation in Newcastle’s Spectro Arts Lab, the shows increasingly featured improvised technology using tapes, sequencers, synthesisers and triggered samples.

A residency in the south of France and some gigs en route allowed Tom to step back from the technology for a while and develop the Live in Paris! Show further. Spectro, now renamed Newcastle Media Workshop, hosted his gig for the 1984 Newcastle Arts Festival, which was recorded live and then released in early 1985, and Live in Paris! toured for over a hundred shows over the next year.

Working increasingly with Keighley band, Single File, under the combined moniker of Tears of Rage, Tom started to record the Real Men Bake Quiche album. Although a robbery resulted in the loss of some of the works in progress, several strong live shows had been well recorded and the compromise album was released in time for a seventy-date, seven-month tour.

By now married, and about to start a family, Tom started looking for more reliable and less travel-intensive work. This led to a residency in Oslo, as a duo with Lennie Harvey, and a rebadging as TG McEwan, to avoid confusion with another singer named Tom McEwan, who is based in Denmark..

He and Lennie began working on The Cause album but, as fatherhood grew more imminent, choices had to be made. Tom played one final twenty date college tour in the autumn, circulating The Cause as a mini-album, before deciding to get a day job, after eight fulltime years on the road.

After accepting a job offer back in Scotland he started work on a new batch of songs with Lennie Harvey and these appeared first as another mini-album, Triumph! And then later as a combined album with The Cause. This coincided with marital break-up and imminent redundancy. For the next year Tom lived, and worked his redundancy notice, in Detroit. He became a regular at several open mics in suburban Detroit, as well as making trips to play in Nashville, DC and Chicago. A local cable TV channel did an hour-long programme on him.

Coming back to the UK and resuming full-time music, he released Live in Nashville – a four-song cassette as a taster for the Moon on White Lake album that emerged a year later. Both got good reviews in local media and fanzines, and invitations to play at home and abroad.

After experiencing songwriter open-mic evenings in Nashville, he wanted to set up similar in Scotland, and collaborated with another songwriter in running an event called Workers in Song. He then focused on some shows at the 1993 Edinburgh Fringe, before starting Edinburgh Songwriters’ Showcase that Autumn, which he led for the next two years (and co-ordinated a CD Gallery featuring most of the regular songwriters) before passing over the reins.  

At the same time he had brief college tours, but then won the chance to take a Masters degree in Multimedia, which led to an intense few years as the Technical Director of a start-up company doing interactive exhibits and CD-ROMs.

Before her return to the USA, Tom had collaborated with Nicki Sbaffoni on each other’s tracks for Gallery. They recorded a number of other songs both in the studio and live, and this was eventually circulated as the album Tangle. At the same time, Tom was increasingly in demand to front Captain Swing Ceilidh Band, which he did until a brain tumour forced an end to music for a decade.

Although there were few long term effects from the operation, singing was very difficult for several years. A family tragedy was another major challenge. Gradually he began to return to open mic events, and then took a weekend workshop in jazz singing, which helped restore his voice. In the meantime he got involved in organising international academic conferences and frequently appeared (and wrote) the evening entertainment

After winning the UNESCO City of Literature LetsGetLyrical songwriting competition in 2011, he uploaded the lyrics to over two hundred songs to his WordPress blog and started to record again, based in Pitlochry, Perthshire. The opening nearby of The Weem as a music venue led to a return to live performance, and each Sunday 2017-2020 he played in a duo, Dunfallandyin’, with Norrie Shand, leading the Sunday evening sessions in Mckays Hotel in Pitlochry, and typically playing 35-40 songs each evening, from a repertoire of over 500.

The songs for Promises were written as the basis for four shows at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, and this album was completed at the end of 2017.

Tom also got involved in theatre, appearing in a professional production. After some workshops he started writing plays as well. He became a regular member of in Pitlochry Theatre’s Show Choir

The global pandemic brought a halt to all live musical activity, although Tom participated in some online events and posted several videos made in his studio. In 2021, open air performances were possible, and these were often as part of community theatre productions. To promote these he gave a number of live on air performances of extracts from the songs. Towards the end of the year, he wrote several new scenes and wrote and arranged songs to add to an existing community play about World War One, which was performed twice in Armistice Week

In 2022, Tom got the chance to write End of Summer Song, a full length play, with songs, about Beatrix Potter. Six months of rehearsals and writing, created a two-hour show with a cast of 12, performed during the Jubilee Weekend. Excerpts were included in two Community Concerts later in the year, along with Tom’s solo performances. While the pre-Covid residency did not return, monthly (and sometimes weekly sessions in the Bothy Bar, again with Norrie Shand, replaced these and led to a number of pub gigs (mainly covers) and guest spots (mainly originals).

Over the winters of 2023-4 and 2024-5 he and Norrie ran weekly sessions at the Jacobite Café, Killiecrankie. He joined the chorus of the Scottish Opera Project (in Scots and Gaelic) and gave 9 performances of Dido and Aeneas in 2024, and in 2025, 6 of Acteon and 9 of The Seal Woman.

In late 2024 he started playing regularly with old friend Tony Wright at the White Hart in Edinburgh, where they last played together in 1980. Teaming up with accordionist Garry Alexander he started playing pub gigs in late 2025.
