British singer, bassist, radio presenter and long time LGBTQ rights activist Tom Robinson has today announced an intimate show at The Workman's Cellar.

The show which has been billed to take place on May 7 has been described as "an evening of songs and stories spanning five decades of adventures in the music industry".

Aficionados of Robinson's work are told to expect "intimate versions of classics such as 'War Baby', 'Glad To Be Gay' and '2-4-6-8' Motorway alongside stories from behind the scenes and a sprinkling of fan favourites from his extensive back catalogue".

Raised in a quaker background in Cambridge, Robinson struggled with his sexuality as a teenager when he realised homosexuality was a punishable offence in England. This experience formed the basis of his lifelong commitment to gay rights activism in the UK, which led to his most well known track 'Glad to be Gay', which was banned from BBC airplay.

His wrote the track 'War Baby' in 1982 about the division between East and West Germany. Robinson has collaborated with numerous artists over his long and prolific career including Ray Davies of The Kinks and Elton John.
