Yesterday, Feltbeats.com had the opportunity to go live with Tom on Instagram and ask a number of questions submitted by fans. The conversation ranged from fun questions (is a hotdog a sandwich? what would his Patronus be?), to in-depth questions, such as what qualities Tom values most in friends, and his process for writing music.
He sings a number of songs throughout, including “Hang Me, Oh Hang Me” from the Coen Brothers’ film Inside Llewyn Davis, “She’s Electric” by Oasis, and his original, “Take Me Away“. Willow, Tom’s lovely Labrador, makes a few appearances, and “the greatest guitar player in the world” Tommy Emmanuel popped by in the comments to say hi too.
Tom also teased his idea to have an upcoming weekly “home party” on Instagram, where he’s hoping to talk to a number of friends, including on-screen Dad, Jason Isaacs.
You can check Part 1 and 2 of the interview below, and a big thank you to all who joined, and to Tom for his time.
