Tom Jones (born 7th June 1940) is a Welsh singer who covers all genres of popular music – pop, R&B, dance, country, rock, soul, gospel, and more and has sold over 100 million records worldwide.

Born and bred in South Wales, Jones began his career as the front man for a beat group called Tommy Scott and the Senators in the mid 60s, where he first attracted attention before breaking away to pursue his solo career. His music caught on very quickly, and across his career he’s achieved a huge 36 top 40 hits in the UK, and 19 in the USA. Known for his most famous songs Sex Bomb, She’s a Lady, What’s New Pussycat, and Green, It’s Not Unusual, Jones has an incredible back catalogue of smash hits, and is sure to keep everyone entertained.

Back in 1999, he was awarded an OBE, later followed by a knighthood in 2006 for his services to the music industry. As well as these honours, Jones has won a Grammy, two Brit Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award over the years, and also had his own TV show, This Is Tom Jones, back in the early 70s. Historically, Tom Jones played huge arena venues to incredibly large crowds of fans, and to this day he still maintains an incredible following.

Nowadays you’ll find him coaching and judging on the UK version of The Voice, or playing rare but incredible sets usually at prestigious events, so keep an eye out for tickets!

Live reviews

Wednesday 19th July. Sandown Park Racecourse. Tom Jones. After a successful evening with the horses there was a high expectation of Sir Thomas of the Jones.

Sadly, like my horse in the last race it was a disappointing showing. Like my horse the show lacked pace, stamina and rhythm. It was a stop start show with large spells of nothing really. The sound wasn’t great but our attention often wandered to other things, be it grown men wearing women’s pants or just shiny bits of paper.

The hits were the hits (and I thought he had more than the five we all know) and these were interspersed throughout the set but the bits in between seemed like an excuse for Tom’s excellent band to show off a bit.

It was a dial in performance that lacked any real passion or atmosphere and left me wishing we’d left earlier for a nice meal or few beers after the horses finished.

It’s a shame really and outside of his hard core female fans down the front I don’t think the vast majority can hand on their heart say it was great gig. For me it will get filed quickly in the worst along with Eddi Reader, Marc Olson and Victoria Williams and Jackie Leven.

Onto to the next and keep on rockin’ y’all

Tom Jones, the Welsh crooner with one hell of a powerful voice. Having first found fame in the 60s with his recognisable vocal and startling range, his career has lately had a revival of sorts due to his role as a mentor on The Voice UK. He has been playing various summertime events and festivals to a loyal fanbase made up of fans old and new.

Away from the voice, his charisma and personality is incredibly likeable as his warm mannerism means he is able to build connection with his crowd almost instantly. He also has a talent for name dropping that is almost as good as his talent for singing, regaling the audience with stories of sharing the stage with Elvis before tearing into classics such as 'Mama Told Me Not to Come' and 'Time Bomb'. The crowd sings along in force yet they are shadowed by the sheer force of Sir Tom's pipes and he really allows his voice to shine during 'Didn't It Rain'. He proves that age does not always mean you have to slow down, as at the age of 74 Tom Jones is busier than ever.

Tom Jones- well, what can I say? Tom gives a great live performance and sounds just as good as you expect him to. He sang all the classics and some new ones too. Although the crowd were not always too pleased with his newer renditions they were just as good. Tom got all of the crowd involved and knows how to put on a proper show.

The set list was well paced, mixing newer material and crowd-pleasing hits. The best of the latter were a singalong Delilah, an infectiously upbeat It’s not Unusual, and a rollicking Mama Told Me Not to Come. Tom's bellowing voice perfectly echoed around the place with a gorgeous sound filling the crowd. The audience would hold Tom to every note and he executed each one perfectly. A total crowd pleaser and a lovely guy. He knew what the audience wanted and gave it to them. Tom Jones is timeless and his version of delilah will always get the crowd going. An excellent gig, would recommend to anyone.

The show was Amazing! Everyone was on their feet dancing- including the employees of Warner Theater! His voice is as strong as ever and I love the variety of songs that he performs. I saw him at the O2 last year in London, and this show was by far the better of the two. In London, we were required to stay seated and were hushed for singing along. Still great to see Tom perform but I hope he comes back to DC soon! I Love you Tom Jones!!!

Excellent first time ive seen him and he was fantastic, would love his navy jacket it was so special and so was he it was aslso my friends first time i went for her and she was so excited like a little girl in a sweet shop she loves him and now she wants to see him again so hopefully in the future we will and gold seats again i think and all the staff at powderham were so very very helpful x

What a Night! Tom Jones is about 74 years old and you don´t hear it. You see it sometimes, but you forgot it, when the next song starts. He presented some new songs from the upcoming Album and it is not what I excepted. The good old songs like "Sex Bomb", "It´s not unusual" and "Delilah" in new arrangements made the evening incredible. Next time in Germany I will be there!

What a gig!! Tom Jones is an icon. A legend. Whether you like his music or not. When Sir Tom sang, I'm sure our hair went backwards!,like in a wind tunnel!.. Some classics sung and some covers thrown in.

The worst part for me was some drunk women in the crowd nearby who fell about blind drunk, crashing into other people and tried to be louder than Tom even though the PA!

The show in Atlanta was fantastic! Tom Jones was incredible!! His voice is golden...legendary!!! He can sing any genre and it magically works. My mother introduced me to his blusey Welsh voice at about the age of 5 and for 50 wonderful years I have loved and will always love him!! Thanks mom and thank you Sir Tom for sharing you beautiful Gift of Song with me!

The show was absolutely amazing. Tom Jones rocked the stage with that wow voice of his, he's a real showman. The only complaints were food/drink/merchandise was very expensive and the length of time to get out of car park as there was not enough staffing down at the exit to guide the rows of cars out safely and quickly apart from that the show was well worth it.

At 79 Jones voice has not aged! Sounding young and strong! His prescence still sensual and provacative! I was a little dissappointed he didnt sing all his classics! But he loves blues and I understand his preference Regardless he was amazing! His band was an excellent accompaniment to his style and choice! Brilliant!

Tom Jones and Nile Rodgers & CHIC, are bringing their legendary hits to Dublin for a night you'll never forget! Join them for one incredible night in St Anne’s Park, Dublin, on Sunday 9th June 2024.

Legendary Welsh singer and performer Sir Tom Jones continues to sustain his popularity around the world, captivating audiences with his timeless discography of hit songs and enduring talent and charisma. With a remarkable career spanning over six decades, Jones is widely considered to be one of the greatest singers and recording artists of all time, selling over 100 million records and continuing as an esteemed and influential figure in the music industry.

At the age of 83, Jones has received some of the best reviews of his career for his most recent Ethan Johns-produced albums “Surrounded By Time”, "Long Lost Suitcase," "Spirit In The Room," and "Praise & Blame." Critics have praised both the recorded material and Jones' performances, highlighting his undeniable and unique talent in both the studio and on stage.

Born in the mining town of Pontypridd, South Wales, Jones quit school at an early age, working various odd jobs before getting his start as a member of a local band called The Senators, later forming his own group, Tom Jones and the Squires, gigging in clubs and pubs around the local area.

In the early 1960s, he signed with Decca Records in London, kickstarting a successful and diverse career and achieving international fame with his powerful voice and dynamic stage presence. He had a string of hit songs including "It's Not Unusual," "What's New Pussycat?" "Delilah," and "Green, Green Grass of Home" which sat alongside his hugely popular 1969-1971 cross-continental TV show, "This is Tom Jones".  Jones has always had a fundamental interest in a wide range of music, leading him to work with dozens of iconic collaborators over the years, ranging from Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin to Van Morrison, Dolly Parton and Ed Sheeran, just some amongst many.  Although he is well known for his hits, he is first and foremost a diverse artist with a true rhythm and blues soul.

Jones's career has been filled with numerous honors and accolades, including a deeply cherished knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2006, multiple BRIT Awards, a Silver Clef Award, the prestigious Music Industry Trusts Award and a Hitmaker Award from the US Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has also acted in films such as Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks," and "Playhouse Presents: King of The Teds" for Sky Arts. Along with his yearly touring, Jones has continued to be active in the industry as a longstanding coach on The Voice UK and being a valued contributor at a variety of events and broadcasts such as the 25th Anniversary of MusiCares (honouring Bob Dylan) and the 57th Grammy Awards as well as many others for charitable causes. His recent autobiography "Over The Top And Back" was a rollicking best-seller, and his 2021 album release “Surrounded By Time” made him the oldest male to claim a Number 1 spot on the UK Official Albums Chart with an album of new material, overtaking Bob Dylan.

Sir Tom has indeed cemented his place in music history as one of the most successful artists of all time, traversing musical eras and genres, cutting across class divides, and appealing to all genders and ages, mainstream and cutting edge. Sir Tom has always been about the power of the song, and the power of the voice, qualities that have made him a true legend in the music zeitgeist. Despite the passage of time, Sir Tom Jones continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the music world, and his legacy will undoubtedly live on for generations to come. 

Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and a multiple Grammy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist.

In 2023 he became the first creator to be awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy for his legacy in the same year as being awarded a Grammy for his new work with Beyoncé on the smash hit “Cuff It”.

As the Co-founder of CHIC, Nile pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like "Le Freak”, the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records, Everybody Dance, I Want Your Love,  Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah) and sparked the advent of hip-hop with "Good Times” and “Rapper’s Delight”.

His work in The CHIC Organization, including “We Are Family” for Sister Sledge and “I’m Coming Out” for Diana Ross, and his productions for artists such as David Bowie (“Let’s Dance”), Madonna (“Like A Virgin”) and Duran Duran (“The Reflex”), have sold more than 500 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide, while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Daddy Yankee, LE SSERAFIM and Beyoncé reflect the vanguard of contemporary hits.

Nile is the first, and only Producer In Residence at Apple Music and helms the award-winning Apple Music 1’s “Deep Hidden Meaning” radio show celebrating the work of great songwriters. Nile served as the first-ever Chief Creative Advisor for the incomparable Abbey Road Studios and is the Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame as well as Co-founder of Hipgnosis Songs, the multi-billion-dollar investment fund listed on the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE 250.

Live Review: Tom Jones – Ages & Stages Tour 2024 in Perth

20 March 2024 at Kings Park Botanic Gardens in Perth, Western Australia

Review by  Sheldon Ang

Photography by  Sheldon Ang Photography

We are immersed in a momentous chapter in music history through our five sences, de-crystallising the dreamy imagery engraved in our subconscious from the preludes of his stratospheric fame on the black and white TV, to the trademark gyration across the world stage of the discotheque era. Tonight, there may be 50 shades of grey among the crowd, with thousands attending as repeat customers of Tom Jones, though many have renewed their vows with Sir Tom Jones through the attendance of their children and grand-children. With the seeds and flowers bloomed with the younger generation gravitating towards the 83 year old icon, the legacy of Tom Jones shall linger in the playlist of the next generations for another 60 years.

From the sex bomb to a charismatic statesman; “I’m Growing Old”, said the octogenarian Tom Jones in a lyrical rendition as he graced the stage for the first time in the Ages and Stages Tour of Australia. His presence was magnified by a whiskey-on-ice baritone that reverberated across Kings Park like no other. The Welshman still commands his fair share of crowd aggregation, as the iconic star stood and sang at the sold-out night at King Park, Perth in Western Australia. And if that wasn’t not enough, he will return for the following night to a near sell-out crowd. 

Understandably, the ageless statesman is no longer the trademarked gyrating, hip twirling, knee bending and squatting performer of the last millennium. Instead, he projects his stunning rich vocals as his weapon of choice – and frankly – that’s appreciated by the paying fans. No fancy props, just Tom, his band, large screen of context and that high end whisky-signature voice.  The charisma of Tom Jones was undeniably addictive as he lifted through the hooks of his songs, spanning across 60 years.

Following the confession at the start of Bobby Cole cover, he continued with Not Dark Yet (Bob Dylan cover) and the sing along track of It’s Not Usual through a bossa nova, shaka shaka, Iberian calypso rendition as the evening transformed into a beach bar café par ambience. The bodies on the floor jiggled, with foot as the nostalgic rain poured from the heavens in this serene open air venue.

For the sake of career longevity, the choreography have been rehashed to suit. Sex bomb were immersed in a rendition of vocal seduction, almost a reflection of his time over the years that involved sipping champagne in a Las Vegas club with the likes of Elvis and Chuck Berry – more of that later. Tom Jones’s vocal projection drove deep. If our eyes were shut, we would be listening to the Tom Jones of the 70’s – the decade that is.  His vocals in a Capella propagated effortlessly without the clutter of music at the intro.  As the rhythm section struck accord, the crowd were wood by the bluesy rendition of this classic. The punchy projection of the words, “Sex Bomb Sex Bomb” thundered through the sound system, explosively reverberating across the grounds of Kings Park. He occasionally moved with the innuendo, purring through the extension of the “R”, oozing a desire that only Tom Jones could emanate. Fans who gravitated towards the classic mirrored his stance, with fists grabbing and punching into the air through the canopy of heads, as the crowd sang as if they were unashamedly extolling about their own sexual prowess and virtues. At this point, it was obvious that Tom Jones’ deep driving voice is richer than most working artists half his age, overriding the accumulative karaoke faux pas recoiling from the well-intendef fans in Perth.

Green Green Grass of Home was one of the sing-alongs of the night, with the intro taking fans to the 60’s within 0.7 of a second, followed by the self-appointed voices of seven thousand riding on the groove train of Tom Jones. Indeed, the pasture was greener on this side of town tonight. The track is the single of the 1967 album of the same name where Jones began to shift from the teenage-targeted audience to the more matured crowd. Song Fact – the track tells the story of a condemned person within four walls in a prison, reminiscing a poignant part of his life. From the euphoria among the fans, we doubt they knew the gruesome meaning to this Jonny Darrell cover of 1965.

And as if Tom Jones needing validation, the vocal clarity performed in ballads such as Borderline and I Won’t Crumble If You Fall were accentuated without the music clutter. The crowd dived into dead silence, grappling to every word of this Welsh crooner. The magical moment was catalysed by the stunning lighting from above, forming a silhouette through the smoky air.

A dedication to the late Prince was in order, as Tom Jones still conveyed the message with an “adults only” believability with swaggerish track in Kiss. The propensity, the bravado and the occasional cheeky “Wooh” with the attitude of a 40-something silver fox strengthened his tenacious fortitude of his performance. The energy in his voice and the physical projection resonated as he jived in slow motion, moving his hand across his body and upper thighs while the crowd screamed. Indeed, the remnants from the 70s and 80s linger.

You still got it, Tom! Said a fan.

If I Only Knew was a stunning mixture of rock, staccato projection and almost rap in some parts, without any signs of lethargy, whatsoever. Like a rocker, he crossed the stage and thrusted his hips gently while winking at the crowd, subtlety oozing the sexual flair and charm. The breathing techniques and timing were perfect, and not just for his age.

Towards the end, Tom reminiscence, “I was in Las Vegas in 71, 72, and I was with Elvis Presley one night…Elvis Presley (emphasising his name, and the crowd acknowledged)…and one night after our show where we were performing in different venues, Elvis said, ‘Chuck Berry is playing, do you want to go and see him’ and I said ‘Sure’ and we went to see Chuck Berry…when we were sitting there, Elvis (again emphasising Elvis) and myself…woo Elvis….this is the truth…’and you know something’ Elvis said, ‘There is the king of rock and roll…right there’”. And so the final song of the night was the upbeat Jonny B Goode. The performance was world class, for any age.

The late Chuck Berry and Elvis are still known as the King of Rock and Roll, and anyone to have witnessed them live would have had a story to tell to their grandchildren. In a similar fashion of legacy and narrative to follow, seeing Tom Jones live carries the same level of wonderment.

Tonight, we’ve witnessed one of the greatest chapters of music history.
