Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tom Robinson came up through the late 1970s punk scene. His debut single in 1978 was 'Glad To Be Gay,' an unapologetic song that became a touchstone for LGBTQ+ visibility at a time when such openness was rare. The track faced resistance from some venues and radio stations, but it found its audience anyway.
He released albums like 'Power in the Darkness' in 1979 and 'Hope and Glory' in 1981. His music incorporated rock and folk elements over time, and he worked with musicians including Ian Dury and Mark Knopfler. The Tom Robinson Band became associated with his straightforward, socially conscious approach.
