Biography

The misanthropic Thomas has just finished the first year of his Law degree at Southampton, and has been LOpSoc's Musical Director since September 2012. He began playing music at the age of 4, and is a classically trained pianist. He's also a published film composer, clarinetist, bass clarinetist and organist, as well as being LOpSoc's MD, répétiteur and conductor. Of course, that's as well as his degree, playing as an exam accompanist, and competing in mooting competitions with the Law faculty. He believes that Freight is Great. He likes to keep himself busy, as well as long walks on the beach, and is seeking someone with GSOH, preferably a tight little craft.
