Musician and broadcaster **Tom Robinson** is to present an evening of songs and stories spanning five decades of adventures in the music industry to benefit **Queer Britain**, the national LGBTQ+ museum, at **Jackson Lane Arts**, Highgate, London N6 on **Friday, March 11** from **7.30pm**.

Tom’s musical journey began in 1974 when his first band was discovered by **Ray Davies**, and included a **BBC** ban for being *Glad To be Gay*, rocking against racism alongside **The Clash**, headlining **Glastonbury** with **Peter Gabriel**, writing lyrics for **Elton John**, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a period in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman.

Having made his peace with the BBC, he’s presented programmes on all the corporation’s national radio networks, and his broadcasting work has won two **Sony Radio Academy** awards.

Expect intimate versions of classics such as *War Baby*, *Glad To Be Gay* and *2-4-6-8 Motorway* alongside stories from behind the scenes and a sprinkling of fan favourites from his extensive back catalogue.
