Tom Grennan 'can't wait' to play Ludlow Castle

Tom Grennan will take to the stage at Ludlow Castle on 19 July

Singer-songwriter Tom Grennan has said he "can't wait" to perform at Ludlow Castle next summer.

The chart-topping artist will take to the stage on 19 July, joining a line-up including Snow Patrol, The Human League and Richard Ashcroft.

Grennan said of the upcoming gig: "It's just nice to get back out and that people are wanting to come to shows again.

"I've just come off an arena tour and seeing that show and knowing what we can bring to the show, people are going to be surprised and I think people are going to have the best time," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

Grennan said becoming a father earlier this year has been a learning curve.

"It is life changing and it's taught me a lot of things in the space of seven months," he said.

"I've figured out who I want to be and who I don't want to be, and I think all I want to be is the best possible dad I can be."

"You go from being on stage and loads of people singing songs back at you and then all of a sudden you're in a quiet house with a seven-month-old and you've got to switch up," he added.

"I got off tour and had two weeks just to chill really and be at home and be normal."

Grennan, whose most popular songs include Little Bit of Love, Found What I've Been Looking For and Remind Me, said he was planning to record new music before the Ludlow Castle show.

"I have set up a studio, a writing space, in my house, so I've been writing a lot for a new project."

"I've got no pressure from labels, no pressure from management, just pressure from myself."
