Tom Grennan, the Bedford-born singer songwriter, selects his favourite songs for an all new Tracks of My Years. The Bedford born artist first trained to become a professional footballer before he caught the singing bug. He played for Luton Town for a while, tried for Northampton Town and Aston Villa, but was later released. He went on to study acting at St. Mary's University in Twickenham. At the age of 18 he started doing gigs around London with his acoustic guitar, mainly in pubs, for almost three years. After a performance at a Finsbury pub, a representative of Insanity Records heard him play and offered a contract.
Tom’s first album 'Lighting Matches' was one of the 10 best-selling debuts of 2018 with over a quarter of a billion streams. Filled with huge tunes like 'Found What I’ve Been Looking For', 'Barbed Wire' and 'Something In The Water', the album showcased his emotional, careworn voice, instilled with a rasp full of devilment and mischief. His second album 'Evering Road' is due to be released in March. He took to social media at the end of last year to reveal he'd named it after his former home in East London saying it was all about a past relationship and is the most honest and best work he's ever done.
The next two tracks Tom has chosen come from Al Green and Curtis Mayfield. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of the legendary music quiz PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
