THE Voice from the Valleys left fans screaming for more in Manchester last night, after winning the crowd over with a mix of rock, pop, country and blues. A crowd almost 10,000-strong flocked to the MEN arena to hear 66-year-old Sir Tom Jones belt out timeless classics including She’s A Lady, Delilah, Sex Bomb and [...]
THE atmosphere at a Tom Jones’ gig has to be seen to be believed. His audience may be wide in age range, but the one thing they have in common is they worship the man. Some like the swiveling hips and others love the cheesiness of his lavish shows. The one thing that I realised [...]
Tom Jones had been nervous before this first night of his British tour, confided venue staff. The set included all the old favourites from It’s Not Unusual to Kiss but was interspersed with numbers being tested for the first time such as the ballad The Reason. Yet when an excited female fan called out “I [...]
HE MAY be old enough to claim a free bus pass, but Sir Tom Jones doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. All right, he doesn’t do much in the way of bumping and grinding any more. Instead he prowls around the stage and does this thing with his hands, like a bad Tommy Cooper [...]

Even in an age when graying, wrinkly leading men romance starlets one-third their age, the idea of a 66-year-old sex symbol should be preposterous, but in his Hollywood Bowl debut Friday night, Tom Jones managed to pull it off. Yes, the panties that were tossed onto the stage were more likely to be from JCPenney [...]
He’s still got it. After more than 40 years performing, Tom Jones has his vocals and his sex appeal intact. The 66-year-old international star whooped it up for an audience of 2,500 last night in the RBC Theatre of the John Labatt Centre — strutting his stuff, shaking his hips and bellowing out old and [...]
To borrow a phrase, if you haven’t seen Tom Jones lately, you haven’t seen Tom Jones. Not content to slide on his well-known Vegas persona, Tom Jones has taken a hugely successful leap, collaborating musically with some of the hottest, most current, musical acts in the business. Much of the music Jones performed Sunday night [...]
Sean Connery, the Scotsman who was the first — and, some say, the best — James Bond had to fight back tears several times Thursday evening as he was feted as the recipient of the 34th annual American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. Almost everyone paying homage to Connery – Mike Myers, Tippi Hedren, Catherine [...]
Tom Jones showed a wide range at Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie on Thursday night. GRAND PRAIRIE — If you want to think of Tom Jones primarily as the guy in tight pants who sang cheesy songs amid a blizzard of female undergarments, that’s fine. But I don’t.
