Tom Fairnie
TOM FAIRNIE is an Edinburgh-based songwriter who enjoys collaborating with others.

Bob Shields and Tom met when they both worked at Edinburgh University and Tom was determined to make a CD of his songs. The problem was that many of the songs were at best half finished lyrically and Tom was grateful for Bob’s collaboration in getting them finished.

They are both poets and both were born and brought up in Musselburgh, just outside Edinburgh. They have similar tastes in music and often co-present a radio show called My Little Radio Show on a local community station called Radio Saltire. Bob helps present the show about once or twice a month while Tom presents the show every Tuesday evening from 9pm until 11pm. The focus of the show is singer songwriters, which is a topic they can expound on endlessly.

Tom has made four solo CDs and has toured several times in The Netherlands and Germany and played a variety of gigs in the UK as well as recently playing a short tour in the United States of America. He performs solo and as a member of a band called Tomfoolery, playing original songs written by himself or with Bob.

Tom has played at numerous festivals and often given song writing workshops. Since he retired from the University, music has been a major focus but, whilst he has ambitions for the songs, he is definitely happier as a writer than as a performer although performing with Tomfoolery has been fantastic fun and a real challenge.
