Tom Robinson found fame in 1977 when the Tom Robinson Band’s 2-4-6-8 Motorway became a top five hit.
Never ones to shy away from a fight for justice, TRB were a key part of the punk movement and, in addition to producing two hit albums and touring extensively, were active campaigners for Rock Against Racism and a host of other causes.
Tom’s anthem 'Sing if You’re Glad to be Gay' was a hugely important rallying call for the gay liberation movement with which he was – and remains – strongly associated.
In his teens, Tom attempted suicide and found help and support in a therapeutic community. His is a fascinating journey From There to Here.
From There to Here
Welcome to From There to Here with Michael Stone. We talk to people in the public eye about their journey through life. We learn about the highs and lows, the influences, the challenges and the lessons learned.
We hope that our interviews are interesting, entertaining and inspiring. We do not intend that they be heavy, but we do hope that they will encourage people facing mental health challenges to reach out for help and support and to see that many people have faced significant mental health challenges in the past and, with help and support, have found a way through.
