Tommy Reilly cant remember when he first got mobbed at a gig, even though it was, at most, four months ago. One minute he was struggling to get 20 people to come and see one of his performances at a Glasgow pub. The next he was doing sold-out tours across Scotland and packing out Londons Proud Galleries. Venues were forced to draft in extra security to hold back the tide of eager fans. Bernard Butler the Brit Award-winning producer of the year was bowled over just as quickly. Lets get this kid with the head full of tunes in the studio, quicksmart

Welcome to a new kind of myspace sensation. A self-taught singer-songwriter from smalltown Scotland. A 20-year-old who literally was an overnight, Top-20-in-the-charts hit following the release of his speedily-recorded debut single Gimme A Call earlier this year. A one-man pop-machine, churning out songs on his piano, his guitar, his harmonica, his phone. Welcome to the life of Reilly. Hes unlucky in love but jeez hes lucky with tunes.
