About this concert
Tom Hingley was the unmistakable voice of Inspiral Carpets, one of the defining bands of the Madchester movement. From the iconic organ riffs to the anthemic choruses, Tom was there for it all—front and centre during the band’s chart-topping heyday.
Now, with just a guitar and a lifetime of stories, he brings those unforgettable songs back to life. From “This Is How It Feels” to “Saturn 5”, join Tom for an intimate, nostalgic journey through the soundtrack of a generation.
Relive the glory days of baggy beats and northern soul as Tom Hingley performs the hits of Inspiral Carpets—raw, honest, and straight from the heart.
