If you enjoy Tom Allen’s CBC Music Radio broadcast every afternoon you will know what a fantastic host he is. With his stories about the music he brings each selection into closer view in a way that is fresh, entertaining, and interesting. His low-key good-natured style endears him to his audiences and his fans will definitely want to hear him in person. If you haven’t had the pleasure yet of tuning in, don’t miss the opportunity to meet Tom and his musical friends as they visit Perth on their Canadian tour.
In Tom’s own words this is what the performance is all about…
At 20, and in his first job, JS Bach got into such trouble that the only thing he could do was to walk away. JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow takes you along on that journey: a 400 km odyssey to a glittering northern port city with street fights, big business, insight, fulfillment, the father figure he didn’t know he needed and, quite possibly, love. A wonderful cast of musicians including mandolinist, guitarist and singer/songwriter Joey Wright, singer Patricia O’Callaghan, multi-instrumentalist Pete Gemmell, harpist Lori Gemmell and master storyteller Tom Allen provide glorious music – both familiar and gripping – allowing JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow to bring that troubled young man in from the cold.
