Tom Stafford

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm based in Manchester and head up news and feature writing here at Ticketmaster. You'll find me writing new music features on the best up-and-coming artists, and interviewing a diverse range of interesting people across entertainment - everyone from Peter Andre, to Bring Me The Horizon, to The Hairy Bikers.

What would your specialist subject on Mastermind be?
The life and work of Eric Cantona. "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea".
