Tommy Reilly carries great expectations following winning Orange Unsigned Act 2008…

Tommy Reilly grew up in Torrance, a small town outside Glasgow and started taking piano lessons and writing tunes before he was ten. In his early teens he saw Oasis at T In The Park and it blew his mind. The next day a mate lent him a copy of (What's The Story?) Morning Glory and he pinched his dad's old acoustic guitar. “I decided to learn how to play all the songs on that album. I had a few guitar lessons but mainly I would just lock myself up in my room and sit up all night practising. I did that for a long time.”
