about
If there's one man who can prove that you don't need to come from Chicago, Memphis or the Mississippi Delta to sing the blues, it's Scottish blues supremo TAM WHITE (born Thomas Bennett Sim: 12 July 1942 – 21 June 2010). In an illustrious career spanning over four decades, Tam White has established himself as a troubadour in the truest sense of the word, acclaimed in mainland Europe as one of the great European blues singers and in his own country, Scotland, as a national treasure. In England blues legend Alexis Korner hailed him as " the greatest undiscovered blues talent of our time". He was an east coaster living in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket until the age of 13 and thereafter moving to Saughtonhall where on leaving school he trained to be a stonemason. Primarily known as a blues vocalist with a trademark gravel-voiced sound, in the 1960s he recorded with beat groups The Boston Dexters and then The Buzz, who recorded one single with producer Joe Meek in 1966. In the 1970s, White was the first artist to sing live on Top Of The Pops. Since his early fame, Tam has packed concert halls and clubs throughout the world, performing solo or with his big band, Tam White's Groove Connection, or his smaller outfit, The Shoestring Band. Over the years Tam has played with and guested for John Mayall's Blues Breakers, Long John Baldry, Brian Auger, James Taylor, Van Morrison, Rev Al Green, B.B. King, Mose Allison to name but a few. He also provided the vocals for Robbie Coltrane to
