Tom Hingley joins Scott Hamilton on The Third Half's monthly On the Turntable series. Singer, songwriter, and former frontman of Inspiral Carpets, Tom is still writing, recording, and playing live with the same restless energy that defined his career. In the conversation, Tom reflects on the Manchester scene of the late 80s, the identity crisis that shaped his lockdown album Grand Mal, and the deeply personal stories behind songs like "Born Again" and "Leave It All Behind". He also talks about a new collaborative album in the works, and a mystery incognito project he's keeping firmly under wraps. Tom's music spans soul, rock, folk, and everything in between, tied together by frank, emotionally charged lyrics and a voice that commands any room. Stick around to the end for a classic Inspiral Carpets track, Saturn 5, and a reminder of just how good they were
