What a great way to start the New Year! For the last 40 years I've traveled the world singing and entertaining, bringing a bit of Wales and Great Britain to my friends, colleagues and audiences. I wear my nationality on my sleeve and I'm proud of it! One of my passions is History and often I engage anyone who is willing in lively historical discussions and debates on British topics and what it means to be British. For me, to accept a Knighthood is a great and humbling honour, and I know my family—and hope my friends and fans—will share in my gratitude and excitement. I'd also like to thank everyone who has supported this honour, and I know many of you have stood by me for years and appreciated any contribution I might have made over time, either musically or personally. I am full of gratitude for your loyalty and support. All the best for a happy, healthy and successful New Year — hope to see you soon! Tom
