Tom Billington is co-founder of Electric Umbrella, a singer, songwriter, guitar player, stilt walker and ‘yes’ man. His rich and varied career has seen him perform all over the world alongside bands and artists such as Razorlight, The Killers, Depeche Mode and countless others.

Tom met Mel working on a project for a local council in 2012, having already spent 5 years working in SEN schools and working with learning disabled people in Milton Keynes. Electric Umbrella grew out of a mutual passion for ‘going the extra mile’ to represent the learning disabled community as the ‘total rockstars they are’. “There is nothing selfless about all of this. We get as much out of it as anyone... the people we work alongside are totally inspiring and the world needs to see that”.
