Tom Robinson Crew
Listen to the radio
Born June 1st 1950 in Cambridge, Tom Robinson was a choirboy until his voice broke, and everything else broke along with it. At a time when homosexuality was still punishable in Britain by prison, he fell in love with another boy at school. Wracked with shame and selfhatred, Tom attempted suicide at age 16. An understanding head teacher got him transferred to a pioneering therapeutic community for disturbed adolescents in Kent.
