Hey guys, what's up? It's Scott back here with another episode of the SBL podcast.

Thanks for coming and hanging out again.

Now, today we've got the awesome bass player Tom Peel on with us,

who I'm sure you will have seen on stage at some point or another over the last year or so

because he is the bass player for James Bay,

who is obviously absolutely colossal right now. In fact, I was just watching

one of his videos that Tom's in, actually, he's in the video, and the video has been,

let me just, I don't want to tell a lie, let me just have a look on my computer. He is right in front

of me. It's been watched 147 million times. So, yeah, just enough to be, you know, that you've probably heard of him, or at least seen Tom anyway.

Anyway, so Tom's actually one of James' oldest friends and has witnessed firsthand the amazing rise to the international stardom, which accumulated in his 2015 debut album, Chaos and the Calm.

And that obviously was the one that had the platinum

selling single on that was whole back of the river, which I've just been watching with 147 million

views. Anyway, in this podcast, you're going to get the lowdown about the gig, you know, about Tom's

gig with James, hear all about Tom's backstory and what you can expect from the next James Bay album as well, because it's already in the works. Now, without further ado, I'm going to hand over to Nick and this week's guest, Tom Peel. Hey, guys, welcome back to another episode of the SBL podcast joined today by Tom Peel. Hey, Tom, how's it going? Hey, Dan, all very good. Thank you. Good. If you don't know, Tom, he's been playing bass with James Bay, who went crazy, what,

2014, two or three years ago? Yeah, it came out in March 2014 and we toured pretty much

solidly with it since then then right up until last Christmas.

So yeah.

Yes, it's chaos in the car.

It has indeed been, yeah.

It has been, yeah.

It literally has been chaos.

Yeah, the album went, is it going platinum over here?
