The Tom Robinson Band (TRB) became known for the hit single 2-4-6-8 Motorway, their vocal support of Rock Against Racism and for the anthem Sing If You're Glad To Be Gay, which reached the Top Twenty despite a ban by BBC Radio 1.
The present Tom Robinson Band has been together for 20 years. Alongside Robinson on bass, it features Faithless drummer Andy Treacey, guitarist Adam Phillips from the Richard Ashcroft Band, keyboard virtuoso Jim Simmons and Northern soul singer Lee Forsyth Griffiths on acoustic guitar.
In recent years they've built a reputation for storming festival sets in the UK, Japan, Belgium and Germany – and marked Tom's 70th birthday (two years late because of Covid) with a sold-out show at Shepherds Bush Empire in May 2022.
