Songs which feature references to trams are in fairly short supply \u2013 even more so in recent years \u2013 but a new album and video by top Black Country recording artist and disco star Tom Aspaul remedies that! Tom\u2019s first album was released in October and features his affection for home sights and sounds \u2013 and this includes the West Midlands Metro!<\/p>\n

The album \u2013 titled Black Country Disco \u2013 includes a track called W.M. which is accompanied by a video filmed at Wolverhampton St George\u2019s tramstop. The album itself has received rave reviews from magazines including GQ and Gay Times plus music industry websites and publications such as Billboard.<\/p>\n
Carl Williams, the West Midlands Metro Director of Operations, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted that the Metro features in such a well-received album that pays tribute to the region we serve. As an organisation we have always been keen to promote local talent and you could say we have a fine \u2018track record\u2019 of supporting the arts!\u201d<\/p>\n
