A royal setting for a living legend
MCD has confirmed that the legendary Tom Jones will play a date at the Royal Theatre in Castlebar on June 21.
A bona fide living legend, Tom's irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, cuts across class divides and appeals to young and old, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. He has always been about the power of the song, the power of the voice.
This is a unique opportunity for music fans to experience one of the most iconic voices of all time performing hits from his vast catalogue in an intimate theatre setting.
Over a careed spanning 49 remarkable years, Tom has sustained his popularity as a live performer and recording artist. Now, at the age of 74, he is receiving the best reviews of his career for his two most recent albums, Spirit In The Room and Praise & Blame (Island/Universal). Critics across the world are unanimous in their approval and admiration for both the recorded work and the performance of it in concert.
Jones has a fundamental interest in a wide range of music. Although he is well known for hits such as 'It’s Not Unusual', 'Kiss', 'Delilah', 'What’s New Pussycat', 'I’ll Never Fall In Love Again' and 'If I Only Knew', he is first and foremost an artist with a true rhythm and blues soul.
Tom was a key player in Martin Scorsese’s Red White & Blues series, and in 2004 released an album of roots rock 'n' roll with Jools Holland. In 2008, 24 Hours was a critical career highlight, with many of the self-penned tracks being an insightful and evocative reflection of his spirited and rich life.
This year Tom continued his role as coach on BBC’s primetime television show The Voice. Now in its fourth series, Tom was working alongside Will.i.am, Rita Ora and Ricky Wilson coaching talented hopefuls in their search to become successful musical artists.
Currently fresh from performing in Los Angeles at the 25th anniversary of MusiCares honouring Bob Dylan and the 57th Annual Grammy’s alongside Jessie J, Tom is ready and eager to hit the road again with his 2015 US and European tour.
