Tom Collins really is a show in himself. Songs covering a wide range of decades such as fifties, sixties, seventies, rock’n’roll, country, Scottish, Irish, sing along, you name it he can sing it. Tom’s personal tributes to characters Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley, Tina Turner, Bay City Rollers, Showaddywaddy, and his own version Al Jolson have given him a huge following and fan base guaranteed to please every one of all ages.

In 2004 Tom organised and performed two sell out shows to raise money for the children’s hospice association in Scotland (CHAS), raising £2,500. In December of that year he was recognised for his charity work by colleagues at Scottish Widows and nominated for a Lloyds TSB Community Award who donated a further £1,000 to CHAS.

Having got the entertainment bug Tom left Scottish Widows in 2005 and decided to try entertaining as a full time career. Moving to Blackpool he didn’t take long to get into the top hotels and clubs and is currently in the middle of his third summer season. In the summer of 2005 Tom continued helping out various charities including Donna’s Dream House in Blackpool where he appeared at Blackpool’s no.1 nightspot Funny Girls along with Billy Pearce, Leigh Myers, Ryan Night, Jody Moore, Catherine Kerr & of course the cast of Funny Girls.

Having taking a year out of fund raising to get his career up and running, Tom returned to Edinburgh in August 2006 to hold another charity evening for CHAS. With a sell out audience of 280 this was the biggest achievement of his career so far. A wonderful sum of over £1500 was raised for the charity.

In February 2007 Tom was asked to appear in his home town of Edinburgh at the Fabulous Edinburgh Festival Theatre to represent Scotland in the Chinese New Year Show. This wonderful show gave tom the title of “The Pride of Scotland” which has stuck at his shows.

Returning to Blackpool again to begin work on his third summer season Tom was approached by HRH Entertainments and asked to appear at the Opera House in Blackpool to help raise money for the Les Dawson Memorial Statue and pay tribute to the great man. Not thinking twice Tom accepted and performed an amazing set with a four piece life band. Working along such legends as Johnnie Casson, Jimmy Cricket, Carl Schofield, Bonnie Tyler, PJ Proby and David Copperfield the 3000 strong audience agreed Tom was firmly on his way to accomplishing his dream.
