Tom Morley was the original drummer and a founder member of Scritti Politti, the 80s band who were pioneers of DIY music before appearing successfully on the dance scene. He’s also recorded with David Bowie and Madness. Unlike other bands Scritti Politti used to make half their songs up on stage so from an early age Tom got used to taking risks in public. What it takes to hold your nerve when you have no idea of what’s coming next is second nature to him. One time, when there was a power-cut on stage in Berlin, Tom just kept playing a pounding beat and set up a vocal call-and-response chant with the audience. In that moment the seed for Instant Teamwork, the international arts-based team building company he set up in 1999 was sown. NYC, Moscow, Joburg, Istanbul, Paris and London are just a few of the places that Tom has drummed and harmonised with hundreds of energised teams in the last 20 years.

    According to Maya Angelou "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel". How will you feel during Tom's talk? For 60 blissful minutes you'll be standing up and making online rhythms as a fully paid-up member of the PSA band. Tom might wear a hat, he might not, who cares? It's not about what's going on outside it's what's going on inside that matters. Expect 20 years of onstage experience thrown at Zoom and kaleidoscoped into your living room, kitchen or office. Bring buckets, tin cans and wooden spoons. Your grooviest hats and craziest shades are also recommended if you want that feeling to last.
