Tom Jones to rock Annies Lane

02 Dec, 2009 09:30 AM
One of music’s most-loved and celebrated stars, Sir Tom Jones, will headline the next a day on the green concert at Annie’s Lane, Clare Valley on Saturday March 6, 2010.

In his native Wales, he is known as “Jones the Voice”. Today, he is one of the enduring personalities in the music entertainment business. His unique vocal power, ability and charismatic persona make him one of the most respected, admired and loved performers in modern popular music.

Tickets are on sale on Monday December 7 for the sixth and, what is sure to be, one of the most memorable a day on the green concerts held at Annie’s Lane. And in a special offer to mark the release of Tom’s new album “24 Hours”, for a limited time only, the ticket price will include a free copy of the album.

Tom has sustained his popularity for more than four decades. Born Thomas Jones Woodward in Pontypridd, South Wales, Great Britain on June 7, 1940, his father worked the coalmines of the Rhondda Valley, while his mother tended the house and the two children. After marrying at 17, Tom went on to sign with Decca Records in London.

Tom has a fundamental interest in a wide range of musical expression. Although he is best known for hits including Kiss, Delilah and If I Only Knew he is first and foremost a rocker with a true rhythm and blues soul. Tom was involved in Martin Scorsese’s Red White & Blues series, in 2000 he released the multi-million seller Reload, the most successful album of his career, and in 2004 an album of big band songs with Jools Holland in the UK.

His 40-year career has seen highlights including receiving a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement and appearing as himself in ‘The Simpsons’. Other film roles have included parts in ‘Mars Attacks!’ and ‘Agnes Brown’.

Tom was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen in 2006.

Special guest support artist will be David Campbell. This multi-talented performer has featured on television programs, starred in musical theatre, devised his own cabaret shows in New York, recorded two Top 10 multi platinum albums and sold out concerts from coast to coast.

David’s platinum album ‘Keep On Lovin’’ has just been re-released as a special Tour Edition, which comprises the original CD, five never before released tracks including ‘White Christmas’ and live footage from the ‘Good Lovin’’ DVD.

Melbourne’s acclaimed Wolfgramm Sisters will be opening the shows. Well-known for their explosive vocal harmonies, they have graced the stage with everyone from JET and Paul Kelly to the Rockwiz and Countdown Spectaculars.
