Anna Calvi Tommy
EP | 6th May 2022
Anna Calvi’s Tommy EP features four songs written specifically for Peaky Blinders.

Anna says:
“I’ve been living in the character of Tommy Shelby for years now. The only way to write for this show is to get inside his head - I’ve dreamed about him every night for months, and when I pick up my guitar I try to play to his inner thoughts. My guitar is his violence and my voice is his hope.”
