TOM MOLE
This all began 18 months ago or so. Dad (Tom Wakeley,
if you don’t know) gave me a guest spot here at Missenden Abbey in cabaret with
the wonderful Tiffany Graves. I owe a huge thank you to Eva and the team for
letting me perform.
I wouldn’t say I’ve been in the game too long. After
all, I turned 19 in May. I’m studying as a tenor at the Guildhall School of
Music (like father, like son), and will be for the next 3 years.
I haven’t a long list of accolades to my name to roll
off now, but here goes;
At 8, I was the voice of a cartoon elephant on
CBeebies. Great fun, that was. Around the same time I’d become more interested
in my singing. In fact, you can hear a young treble Tom Mole singing on
Shepherd Little, the children’s nativity, music written by the marvelous Gavin
Mole (no nepotism intended). If you’re in the market for a children’s nativity,
see Dad for details.
I’ve only just left the Royal Grammar School in High
Wycombe. The last two years there were simply incredible, despite the exams. I
think my enjoyment was all down to the music department, led by Tim Venvell.
Way back in the 90s he formed a close harmony group for the boys in the sixth
form, called Singers’ Ltd. Dad will tell you, after the first time I heard the
group sing, I pledged to myself that this was the school I’d attend. I guess
that’s how it turned out. Our year,class of 2015, didn't do too badly. We
won Youth Choir of the Year 2015, as it happens.
See Alexandra and Tom at the next Cabaret evening at Missenden Abbey on Sunday 18th September for £15 per ticket. Please visit the Facebook event page for more details or call us on 01494 86811.
