Thomas Evans of Liverpool, England was born on June 5, 1947. He bought his first
guitar after seeing The Beatles at the Cavern Club. His first group was called The
Inbeatweens. After they broke up, he formed The Calderstones in 1966. The Iveys saw
them perform in July of 1967 and asked him if he was interested in songwriting. Soon
afterward, Tommy was recording a demo on The Iveys' tape machine and he was joining
their group, replacing David Jenkins. Tommy remained until the end of Badfinger in
April 1975. After Pete Ham's death, he joined the Dodgers in 1976 with Badfinger
keyboardist Bob Jackson, and eventually reunited with Joey Molland, creating a "new"
Badfinger in 1978. After splitting up with Joey in 1981, he continued with the "new"
Badfinger ("Goodfinger" at one point) with Bob Jackson and Mike Gibbins
until his death in 1983. After the group became broke again, he attempted a solo
career, recording songs with friend Rod Roach until he took his own life on November
19, 1983.

A new and special tribute lithograph of Tom Evans
has been created by Mark V. Perkins and is now available. The BWR page features an
in-depth interview with Mark Perkins following his thought processes in how the Tom
Evans lithograph came together. Complete ordering instructions are also provided.
Click on link in above ad for details. I want to congratulate Mark for having the
faith to continue this series that he started with the Pete Ham lithograph.
"I am pleased to announce that due to some revised postal qualifications I am
now able to drop the price on the new Tom Evans lithograph as well as the Pete Ham
lithograph. I have also decided to absorb the initial expenses that were laid out
to purchase packaging material and shipping tubes, plus rounding off to some real
nice even numbers. How's that for being tidy? In lowering the price of shipping and
packing of these lithographs I am hopeful that more people will be able to hop aboard
and support this effort." - Mark V. Perkins
The lithograph is based on the photo of Tommy on
page 204 of Dan Matovina's book, Without You, The Tragic Story of Badfinger.
Payment can be made in either cash, Money Order or International Money Order only.
No credit card orders will be taken.
