Sir El Tom

Tom Cridland began performing Elton’s music to recover from alcoholism, and has become a singer, songwriter, producer & pianist aka “Sir El Tom”.

Tom learnt the piano almost overnight during the Covid-19 lockdowns as part of his recovery but in a couple of years he went from playing pubs to headlining theatres, amphitheatres and arenas. He plays all of Elton John’s best loved classic hits, album tracks, deep cuts and fan favourites, including Rocket Man, Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting), The Bitch Is Back, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Crocodile Rock, I’m Still Standing, Bennie and the Jets, Your Song, Candle In The Wind, Tiny Dancer, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding and many more.

Away from the stage Tom is a songwriter and producer who has worked in the recording studio with a long list of musical legends including The Stylistics, Shania Twain, Ronnie Wood, Steve Lukather as well as Nigel Olsson, Davey Johnstone and Sir Elton John himself.
