Born in London and bred in Harare, Zimbabwe; filmmaker, musician, writer, and self proclaimed pirate captain Tomas is a law unto himself. After a stint as frontman for top Zimbabwean rhythm and blues band 'Luck St. Blues' whilst writing his 'A' levels, Tomas won a plane ticket in a public speaking competition and travelled to the UK to study film and video production. When he is not lost in his own philosophical musings on the nature of mankind's existence, he is most often to be found loitering in the Dalston area. Tomas actively seeks out interesting and, often but not exclusively, African projects of his own. He has just returned from the Bushfire festival in Swaziland where he was working on a Pan-African Video journalism project. Currently working on a feature script for an African horror and gigging around London with Afro-punk band Dhindindi, Tomas has big aspirations for his mid-week quiet times and enjoys connecting with progressive, creative people from all walks of life.

New - Kamikaze Test Pilots, National Snack London - Ebony Bones, The Noisettes, Sabatta, Ryan Koriya, Zashiki Warashi, Subsource and of course the sublime Dhindindi Others – The Rudimentals (SA), Hog Hoggidy Hog(SA), Evicted(ZIM/OZ), 340ml(Mozambique), Cat Empire(OZ), and most recently the unbelievable 'Bholoja'(Swaziland) who were so amazing at the bushfire festival they almost made me cry.

Victoria Park. Best enjoyed in the gentle sunshine with a good book and a cool rum and ginger beer.

Creativity is realising that you want to leave the world better than you found it.

Rudimentals - Set it Proper

Recipe for a good time. Ingredients: . One bottle of Jamaican rum. . Two handfuls of bubbly friends. . Some pieces of eight. . An eye-patch. . 2 helpings of Memphis Soul Stew. . An open invite to a cool house party. . . Method: Take both handfuls of friends and season liberally with the rum. Put the Memphis Soul Stew on and turn up to 4, remembering to favour the bass over the treble just a little. Get the eye-patch on early and fold one of the pieces of eight into the mixture taking care to keep a little to one side for later. Turn the stew up to 6 and leave the whole thing to simmer for about half an hour adding more rum to taste as you go. When the friends are ready there will be giggling and witty repartee aplenty: time to head off to the party, you may want to throw in some finely chopped mushrooms or perhaps some trident gum (if their new ad campaign is to be believed). By morning you should be watching the sunrise over the Thames. This sumptuous feast can be finished off beautifully with a nice coffee spiced up with a little Amarula.

I woke up at 7 am after a whole 45minutes sleep and headed off to Clapham Common to rig a ten camera shoot. As I sat in the mobile video truck, the night coming back to me in bits: a pub, a gig, a party, a house in Finsbury Park... a wave of peri-combombulations came over me and I had to retire to Jamiroquai's back stage lavatory for a chat on the big white telephone. (The shoot went fine by the way).

This generally happens in Victoria Park with a nice picnic.
