Tom is a living legend who has befriended, collaborated and hung out with practically every key character in the music and showbiz worlds; he has the rare ability to cut across generations and genres, appealing to young and old, mainstream and cutting edge alike. One of the great performers of both the 20th and 21st centuries, he's widely recognized as one of the godfathers of modern soul, a man without whom the likes of Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson, Joss Stone and Duffy would never have existed.
Incredibly, after making music for 45 years, it has been suggested by critics on both sides of the Atlantic that his latest album 24 Hours might just be his best yet. Recently certified Gold, it is a collection of largely original songs that Tom has co-written, containing some of the most personal and revealing work in his 5 decade long career.
Tom is thoroughly enjoying bringing a show that presents repertoire from the 60's to the present to audiences in a variety of venues across the world which include classic hits Its Not Unusual, What's New Pussycat, She's A Lady, Sex Bomb, Burning Down The House and more.
Sir Tom is coming back into the nation's arenas and hearts with a repertoire that spans decades and generations; or in the more humble words of a true music fan, "I'm just opening up shop again. Let's see who comes in through the door."
Recent reviews of Tom Jones' US Tour have been abundant with praise:
“Tom Jones' hugely entertaining set…found the Welsh singer having more fun than would appear healthy for a man his age….he performed his songs with an energy, flair and wit that should put performers half his age to shame” Variety
“He…served notice that [he] still has it going on, and it was no idle boast” Boston Globe
“This performer's true calling card has always been the pipes. Tom Jones [performed with] the iron will of a true entertainer who proved he still has what it takes….and you had to love him” Vanity Fair
