Sir Tom Jones is one of Britain’s greatest singers and has enjoyed an extraordinary career spanning four decades.
This summer he is returning to Sandown Park Racecourse to perform live after racing on Wednesday 18th July where he will entertain the crowd with some of his classic hits, recent repertoire and new favourites.
Tom Jones’ 46-year career has impressively gone from strength to strength selling over 100 million records. Along with sustaining his popularity as a live performer and recording artist, he added another string to his bow when he appeared as a Coach on BBC’s new flagship show, The Voice, and Won!
Tom was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen in 2006, an honour he deeply cherishes. Other highlights of his long career include receiving a BRIT Awards for Best Male and Outstanding Contribution to Music, a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Hitmaker Award from the [US] Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2010 the prestigious [UK] Music Industry Trust Award.
Sir Tom is indeed a living legend. His irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, cuts across class divides and appeals to young and old, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. Sir Tom has always been about the power of the song, the power of the voice.
Tom Jones said “I had such a great time at Sandown Park last year and was delighted to be asked to return. I look forward to seeing you all in July.”
