All of the artists involved are absolutely incredible, and after weeks of preparation, we’re now ready to show the world what TOM can do. To say we’re buzzing to get back to presenting entertainment again is the understatement of the century, and this show represents our first step towards welcoming back audiences in 2021.”

“Reigning Women is a genre-spanning mini-season of shows and events that are all about celebrating some of the women that are strutting their stuff on the scene at the moment. TOM offers a platform for both established artists and rising stars to showcase their amazing talents. Not only that, but we’ve also managed to raise thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes, including Brighton Women’s Centre, RISE and Lewes FC –

“Alice Russell is a British soul singer. She is the daughter of an organist and grew up in Framlingham, Suffolk. At the age of nine, following in her father’s and sisters’ musical footsteps, Russell began taking lessons on the cello, and sang in choirs, before studying art and music in Brighton from 1994. As well as the classical influences of her father, and formal music lessons, Russell began finding influence in gospel music and soul artists such as Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin from an early age which played a big part in the shaping of her style.”
