Tom Grennan - who you may recognise from Dork's recent foray into virtual festivals, or, y'know, being a famous musician (?!) - has debuted an acoustic session video for his song '
Oh Please'. Shot at home during lockdown, it's not a despairing
oh please aimed at misinformation or 'the state of things', but rather an excited look towards the future, inspired by the feeling that anything is possible. Nice, right? A few weeks back we sent Tom a few Qs to find out what he's up to at the mo, and hey presto, here are his answers.
Tom! Hello. How are you doing at the moment, coping ok with self-isolation?
Hey, I'm good! I'm at home in Bedford at the moment self-isolating so it's different to the summer and festival season everyone's had planned. I've just been trying to keep busy and help out where I can. It's been nice to spend so much time with my family too.
We hear you've been helping people out around your neighbourhood?
Yeah! Just before the full lockdown I was in East London so I was doing a bit of dog walking for people in the area and helping with shopping for people that couldn't get out. Then I went back to my parents’ for full lockdown in Bedford, and have been helping the local community when I'm able to go on my walks and delivering essentials to people with Bedford Food bank.
It sounds like you've put out a lot of positivity during a difficult time, what have you most enjoyed doing?
For sure! It's a bad situation for everyone but helping out my community has been really positive. I’ve been working out, and just being with my family and taking time to reflect.
