- Too broke to go on the road, 24 year old singer/songwriter Sandi Thom decided to set up a webcam in her South London flat and staged a three week world tour from the basement. Part of a new breed of internet-made acts that include the Arctic Monkeys, Gnarls Barkley and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sandi spread the word about the `21 Nights from Tooting' tour via Myspace.com and her own site, inviting fans to watch the tour live on the web or in person at the very modest underground venue of her basement (capacity 10 people, byob and a sleeping bag). Pulling in an audience of 70 on the first night, news of the gigs spread like wildfire on the internet and by the end of the `tour' she had 70,000 web viewers from as far afield as Russia, the USA and Pakistan!
- Drawing on a musical palette that varies from Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley through Carole King and Stevie Nicks to Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, Sandi Thom joins the dots between black and white music. Throughout `Smile' It Confuses People - which was produced in a barn by bandmates Jake Field and Duncan Thompson - she seamlessly blends folk and soul strains and influences. Sandi takes a similar approach lyrically, bringing together a diverse range of themes and subjects from broken hearts and newborn relationships through musicians and musicianship to the current worlds preoccupation with progress

Sandi Thom In My Opinion Is One of the Most Under-Rated Superstar Music Artists Ever.
I am Massive Massive Sandi Thom Fan Because of Her Debut Album.
Every Single Song on This Album Is An Absolute Classic In its Own Right.
Every Song has something unique and special to offer.
The Song You Should Really Listen Carefully To Is 'Time'.
'Time' Was Never Released But Listening To It Makes Me Feel Quite Emotional.
I've Seen Sandi in Concert, and Despite It Being Held in a Bar, It Was One of the Best Night's of my Life.
This Is Album Is Addictive Listening. I know all 10 Songs So Well Because Each One Deserves Its place in The Music Hall of Fame.
Sandi Thom Has A Voice Better Than An Angel & I Counting Down The Seconds To Her 2nd Album.
