Though a native of Ireland, Tommy McArdle has been described as one of the best young songwriters in London. Playing on the city’s music circuit he has become a popular performer not only for his passionate approach but his comfortable stage presence. His brand of ballsy balladeering is a suitable counterpoint for the buoyant acoustic scene. As a live vocalist there is a rare mixture of vulnerability and power. His soulful, slightly husky, slightly smooth delivery is both effortless and emotive.

Tommy McArdle is an artist for those who prefer their music to have an emotional quality and something to say, whether that be the grand subjects of the global stage or everyday matters. Human character is at its heart. As a solo artist and with his electric outfits Darko, Solar Republic and Moody McArdle he has been a regular on many of London’s most prestigious and popular venues over the past few years including the Underworld (Camden), Kashmir Klub (Baker Street), The Bedford (Balham), 12 Bar Club (Denmark St.), The Water Rats (King’s Cross), Union Chapel (Islington) and the Acoustic Lounge in Clapham to name but a few.
