MPFree: The Angel of The North by Tom Hickox

Perhaps unsurprisingly, North Londoner Tom Hickox has recently been snapped up by Richard Hawley’s management team – vocally the two share some common ground (Hawley also plays on Hickox’s forthcoming debut LP, pencilled in for a 2013 release), but there’s more than a hint of Anthony Hegarty’s quivering vibrato in Tom’s baritone too. The son of a Grammy winning conductor and an orchestral timpanist, Hickox spent much of his early adolescence immersed in the works of Beckett and The Angry Young Men, rejecting music completely, before a serious illness – and a subsequent period of recuperation – forced him to re-evaluate.
