Tom Bromley

Tom Bromley reflects humorously on parenting milestones, focusing on his eldest child passing a driving test and his anxious experience taking his youngest daughter and friends to the Boardmasters music festival in Newquay. He describes the festival as a rite of passage for Salisbury teenagers, recounts waiting in town before a difficult nighttime pickup, and mentions his upcoming double-bass performance with the jazz group Centrepiece at Fayre on the Square.

Tom Bromley reviews three art exhibitions in Salisbury's Cathedral Close. He praises Tansy Lee Moir's haunting charcoal tree works at Arundells and particularly recommends Salisbury Museum's informative Bloomsbury in Wiltshire exhibition, highlighting works by Henry Lamb and Vanessa Bell. He finds the art at Salisbury Cathedral strong but believes its impact can be overshadowed by the building's own architecture, with the accompanying Art Late performances expected to add energy.
