Tom Blackwell (Young Rebel Set) + Anna Karila

"Wonderful Heartfelt Music" (Bob Harris )
...from the Young Rebel Set lead singer
Now landed on Teesside after a meandering journey across all corners of England, Tom Blackwell emerged from the Manchester folk club circuit, where he discovered the country, blues and gospel music that would become the foundations of his work.
Between 2010-2011 a succession of homemade recorded demo collections garnered somewhat of a cult following. In 2012 The Viper label of Liverpool (The La’s, Edgar Jones) released a compilation of these tracks. The record received support from BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music.
Anna Karila is a superb young Teesside singer, with an astounding voice... worth the licence fee alone!
His second official long player, Regency Cafe was released in the late summer of 2023 and followed by the ‘Tell Tale Heart’ in 2025.
A prolific writer with a visceral and dynamic performance style, Blackwell has been playing across the UK and beyond for the last 15 years. He has shared the stage with artists such as legendary Love guitarist Johnny Echols, and supported many other illustrious names including Terry Reid, Hurray For The Riff Raff and Joshua Ray Walker
