Pale Fire Music

The Firefly venue has a capacity of 150 and is situated on the first floor
in the old Oakengates Market Hall (built 1826) near Telford, West
Midlands.

Pale Fire Music and Left For Dead Records are Not-for-Profit promoters working with Firefly owner Scott Adams to deliver a Community Music Project supporting original live music. The Firefly has stage lighting and a projection system over the stage which is 6.2m wide 3.3m deep 0.84m high. Pale Fire Music have their own 4.7Kw sound system purchased
on their behalf by Forge Urban Revival via a community grant. Because of the age of the Market Hall building, the first floor of
the Firefly can only be accessed via a staircase, and the same
applies to the balcony seating. The Firefly is a 3-minute walk from Oakengates Train Station in
Telford (Birmingham to Shrewsbury Line) and only 2.5 miles by
car from junction 5 on the M54.

Tom Hingley plays the Firefly! Friday 16th October.
Tom Hingley is an accomplished singer songwriter and guitarist, best known as the ex-lead singer with Manchester’s finest Inspiral Carpets, he sang on all the bands hits and was present at the height of their success.
Tom parted with Inspirals in 2011 and has been forging a successful solo career both as an acoustic singer releasing Keep Britain Untidy (2001) and The Grand Mal (2024). Lenny Kravitz once said Tom ‘should be singing on Broadway’ at the filming of the TV the Beat in 1991.
As a solo artist, Tom performs original music; a blend of Folk, Soul, Gospel and Blues, in addition to renditions of Inspiral Carpets classic songs, and is an animated and eclectic performer on slide guitar also.

We have not been able to secure Arts Council England (ACE) funding for our 2026 – 2028 Not-for-Profit Community Music Project at the Firefly in Telford.

Without ACE funding we will not be able to curate a music programme that attracts touring artists from the UK and overseas as we did during our 2023 – 2025 music programme.

We’ve been the only organisation in Telford dedicated to attracting touring artists performing new and original music in the town; and we know that those of you who’ve been supporting our live events will be disappointed to hear this news.

We will explore alternative funding possibilities for the project. Please continue to follow our posts on our account.

Many thanks to those that bought tickets during 2023 – 2025, especially those of you who travelled from across the country to attend our shows.
