Seeing some unexpected press over the weekend, I came to the conclusion that singing really is my best therapy. Music is so important to me—it’s my life, and through the brightest and darkest of times it has embedded a soundtrack to all my memories.
So, it means a huge amount to be able to continue to perform for such a loyal and giving audience; your support has been uplifting and doesn’t go unnoticed. See you all at the shows this Summer.
A heartfelt Thank You to all who sent notes of their sympathy and support to me and my family over the last couple of weeks. So many beautiful and meaningful things were said, and reading these genuine and lovely messages has lifted us all. See you soon.
Tonight (Saturday 16th April) on BBC TWO at 9pm, a very special BBC Music documentary will be broadcasted, Tom Jones' 1950's: The Decade That Made Me.
Sir Tom had a wonderful time filming this piece last year. He hopes you all enjoy it, and get a kick out of seeing how it was back then.
The director of the piece Chris Rodley has written a piece for The Huffington Post about the filming experience and what he learned from Sir Tom. Check it out below.
It's very scary to be asked by the BBC Music TV department to direct a documentary with Sir Tom Jones. Not about him, you understand. That would be too easy. That's been done before. This was going to be made with him, but be about the 1950s - with Tom as a prism for the decade. So I'm already worrying 'How am I going to stop myself from encouraging Tom to talk mainly about himself and his unparalleled career and get him to talk to the world about him?' And 'How the hell am I going to stop him hi-jacking the camera'? Lenses love legends. They can't stop looking at them. They know a good face when they see it (or rather, see through it). Damn these clever-clogs BBC ideas. Why can't we just make a show about Sir Tom Jones? Not one with him, as our guide through a grey decade.
Before meeting Sir Tom, his son and manager, Mark Woodward, wanted to know - when it came to shooting - if I'd be able to forget that his dad is the legendary Tom Jones? And I'm thinking 'No. Can Tom?' Expectations were building and with them, my anxieties. Would I be able to discover Tommy Woodward, the 50s adolescent with an experience that was both particular to South Wales and yet representative of the decade and the country as a whole?
I've only felt truly threatened twice in my life - once in Downtown LA in 1988 when a stranger shouted at me "Hey Homes! Nice leather jacket." The second was when I walked into a pub in south Wales in 1974 and asked for a lager and lime. What was their greatest export going to think of me?
Luckily, I've had some good training. The first documentary I wrote in 1983 involved me interviewing the actor Patrick McGoohan - part panther, part tortured Irish Roman Catholic, part driven genius. Cigarettes got us through that one and I've given up. Then there was the film with Dirk Bogarde in 1992... Another trial by fire, but this time sweetened with bottle after bottle of chilled frascati, and a steady stream of unrepeatable stories, over a getting-to-know-you period prior to shooting lasting a year.
No such luxury here. We had to film in two weeks' time. We had access to Sir Tom for three or four days. So when the crew eventually gathered for the first day of shooting in the car park of the University of South Wales in Pontypridd, waiting for him to arrive, I really had no idea what might happen.
At the end of Orson Welles' movie Touch of Evil, Marlene Dietrich's Tanya says of the director's now dead Police Chief Quinlan, "What does it matter what you say about people? He was some kind of a man." That works just fine for me when it comes to Tom Jones. The crew and I laughed a lot over those few days. Tom would literally burst into life when talking about rock 'n' roll, and all the different kinds of music he loves. You can see it in the film. Suddenly he's on fire. He's a kid again, full of genuine wonder and unbridled passion. He can't help himself. And it's not just compelling because it's delivered in that glorious baritone voice; it's also compelling because of the geyser-like emphasis he puts on certain words as he goes. For instance, no one says "Tight" the way Tom does - the way it should always be said - through clenched teeth. It sounds sexier that way.
While filming on the street where Tom's sweetheart Linda lived as a child, and where they slept together as man and wife for the first time, we were spotted - first by a small, group of impossibly large young men (pictured with Tom above), and then by the man now living next door to Linda's family home. The young men wanted to know if Tom could get them a job on The Voice. The old man was clutching a framed photograph of himself and Tom together, taken in 1965 on Laura Street in Ponty. The young men just couldn't comprehend this. Did they even have cameras way back then?
Tom was at ease with all of them, maybe because he could have been any of them - if it hadn't been for that voice. He's absolutely representative, but not at all typical.
What Tom taught me is that it really is possible, if you have a singular talent and a huge amount of confidence, to go out and create the life you've imagined for yourself - even if that life is very different from the one you've been leading - and yet remain the warm, regular guy you were when you set off.
I have been thinking about Tom a lot this week. Our film has ended up going out in the week that he's lost his childhood sweetheart after 59 years of marriage, the woman who grew up where he grew up, who was as much a part of where he's from as Tom himself. That must be so hard. But I know that Tom and his family are very glad that Tom got to go back and explore the decade that made him and the place that he comes from late last year. When we took Tom to South Wales to explore his childhood and adolescence it was back before Christmas. Linda was still alive and there was no sense of loss to cloud how much Tom owes to her and to Ponty and the 50s. That debt is palpable in this film. That's why it was appropriate to dedicate the film to her memory.
Also, as it turned out, I needn't have worried about the 50s thing. Tom was intuitively on point throughout. As a director, he makes you feel like you're at the wheel of a Ferrari with 10 gears: everything is feasible, fun and fast.

A very special BBC Music documentary will see Tom Jones chronicle his unique journey through the decade that formed him, The 1950s.
In this personal journey through his formative years in south Wales in the 1950s, Tom takes us on a trip through the decade of his childhood and adolescence, the years that shaped his ambition, his talent and his tastes and that witnessed an explosion of popular culture and the sweeping aside of the old order. Television, the movies, the radio and - most importantly - the music of the first rock 'n' roll years, giving a unique insight into both the country and the decade that would shape Tom's talent and, in the 60s, make him a star.
Due to serious illness in his immediate family, Tom Jones has regretfully had to cancel his performance in Manila this evening. He extends his deepest apologies to both the organisers and the fans, who he is most sad to disappoint. There are no further details at this time.
See Tom Jones' chat with The Australian, right before Tom took to the stage to headline Bluesfest in Byron Bay, Australia.
It’s been six long years since Tom Jones played in New Zealand, and last night at The Vector Arena there was a palpable excitement in the air, with some enthusiastic fans dressing up in 70’s gear with wigs, medallions and flamboyant clothes. But is that what the night would be about?! The band consisted of drums, two keyboardists, two guitarists and bass. Tom entered and looked grounded, strong and happy. At 75 he still has a very youthful feel.
It was an interesting start to the set as he sang four songs from his 2010 album Praise & Blame, (an album of stripped back traditional spiritual and contemporary gospel songs). Setting the scene for the evening, he began with John Lee hooker’s Burning Hell, and we followed him “down to the crossroads in fear and trembling,” considering a deal with the Devil.
Tom spoke of his times hanging out with Elvis and sang the traditional song Run On which the King had covered too, and with the lyrics “sooner or later I’m gonna cut you down” … there was a darker vibe.
Next Didn’t it Rain with widescreen images of rain falling behind the band. Clearly happy to be in NZ, he encouraged the audience to clap along and was applauded when he sang in his trademark low register – the whole arena experiencing the presence of his incredible voice – almost operatic with a phenomenal rich tone.
You Don’t Knock was an upbeat rock’n’roll number delivered with a big ending to rapturous applause, by now the crowd being pulled in and upwards, true believers one and all. Tom then spoke to us “Hello Auckland – “I’m going to be doing everything that’s humanly possible tonight!” and he cleverly transitioned into a more familiar song, introducing a brass section, to deliver Sex Bomb in the style of 80’s rocker Stray Cat Strut, complete with walking bass and a great vocal, where he teased the audience with the beguilingly clever lyrics.
The audience were up dancing and the obligatory knickers were thrown onto the stage – but Tom ignored them, and took us straight back to his new music, four songs from his 2015 LP Long Lost Suitcase (the companion to his autobiography, Over The Top And Back).
The first one was a highlight of the evening, the Lonnie Johnson song Tomorrow Night. With a backdrop of a moon over the ocean, Tom sang over a beautiful Hawaiian guitar and accordion. Then Why Don’t You Love Me Like You Used To Do? followed by Raise a Ruckus with Hillbilly harmonies and everyone singing along and big applause as Tom acknowledged the daffodils and Welsh flags being waved around – and then the rock n roll Take My Love (I Want to Give It)
It seemed to take a while for many of the audience to recognise the next song as it started slower and with a Pulp Fiction feel, Toms voice was accompanied by a Dick Dale surf style guitar – the tension and darkness was building. On the screen blood and roses being smashed, and blood running down a drain. The line “I felt the knife in my hand as she laughed” resonated, the horns were back and the song kicked into a Samba Bayon beat (similar to the original groove of It’s Not Unusual).
It was Delilah! Arms were waved joyfully in the air while singing along with the chorus “My, my, my Delilah” which was quite a contrast to what was on the screen but everyone embraced it, there to have a good time – it was a spectacular version.
This was followed by Fall in Love – Tom’s voice sounded particularly beautiful and soothing – with phones instead of lighters being waved in the air and then my favourite song of the night Shake a Hand, written in 1953 by Joe Morris and originally performed by Faye Adams. Starting with a cool guitar riff and vocal the song built, depicting a reassuring new lover making promises with lyrics “Just give me a chance, I’ll take care of everything’.
Then back to his suitcase for Elvis Presley Blues – A powerful song written by Gillian Welch, sung with just guitars and gentle keys. Tom told us how Priscilla Presley approved of the song saying “it was a haunting tribute to Elvis”
You could feel Tom soul searching while singing two songs from his 2012 album Spirit in the Room. Soul Of A Man, with its pounding bass line and the stage lit red, and then, to massive applause, Leonard Cohen’s Tower Of Song – beautifully delicate with a moody instrumentation.
And back to familiar territory with The Green Green Grass of Home country style, with a singalong chorus and huge applause.
Next the classic, It’s Not Unusual. This song was originally written for Sandie Shaw. Tom was just meant to be the demo singer, but once recorded they both knew it was perfect for him, and it went on to be his first number one and launch his career. Personally, I was hoping to hear it played in its original style – this version was slower and more downbeat.
The next two songs brought the house down; Mama Told Me Not To Come, and You Can Leave Your Hat On. They were followed by If I Only Knew, and the set ended with the rocking I Wish You Would.
For an encore the band came back and jammed for what seemed like a long time before Tom returned and sang the Bond Theme Thunderball. Something seemed a little discordant and uncomfortable in the sound but the melody shone through, with Tom’s voice sounding phenomenal.
Next, Kiss, which seemed to be the highlight of the night for most of the audience. And for the last song back to his recent Praise & Blame album for Strange Things – upbeat rock’n’roll blues, with everyone dancing and … more underwear thrown on stage!
Tom showed his depth tonight, and was determined to stamp out the pants! The darker side was revealed, with most of his set being made up of his more recent songs from his trilogy of albums which have seen him go back to his rhythm and blues roots. Away from the glitzy entertainer, and back to singing songs with heart and soul which HE wants to sing. Back to his core, to his voice, and what a voice!
With his operatic power, mixed with the grace and sensibility of a soul singer – he feels the songs, you know they resonate with him deeply and he sings from the heart. Tonight we saw Tom Jones. Tonight we saw who he really is. His voice won through.

Even if you aren’t a diehard fan, there is no doubting you would be familiar with Sir Thomas Jones Woodward OBE. Better known as Tom Jones. Rising rapidly to fame in the mid 60’s and some 50 years later he is still growing his fan base that clearly has no age limit.
Adelaide had the pleasure of Tom’s company last night and amid a sea of Welsh flags there was a diverse range of ages of punters in the audience it truly shows that age is but a number.
Sir Tom choosing to go this show alone, no support act to whet the crowds appetite, and to be honest while it’s always nice to have another group along – perhaps a new group to discover, or another artist you are familiar with to build the excitement – with an artist of this calibre he more than truly had the audience hanging in anticipation.
Before long the lights went dark a mysterious red glow across the stage, a guitarist perched either side of a sole microphone stand front and centre and a subtle display of numerous brass instruments and guitars, peaking my interest and what was in store for us during this show. Slowly but surely he emerged stage right to rapturous applause. A nod of the head, a small bow and he began. Opening the show with newer tracks Burning Hell and his cover of Run On the crowd was instantly on his side, singing along with him.
A great variety of tracks – 24 in total – many of which were reworked and given new life, including a toned down swing style Sex Bomb which the fans appeared to love and had Tom swinging his hips to the beat. Later on a reworked Delilah seemed to take the fans by surprise the new rhythm and slower guitar intro not getting a reaction until he sang the opening line. It wasn’t long before they were singing along in delight though, belting out the chorus in unison.
The brass section and keyboardists joining in on stage were a welcome addition not only musically but watching them perform was also a treat. From their fancy footwork, dance moves galore and encouraging the crowd to get involved. Frank, Henry and Trevor are a fabulous show in themselves. You could tell they were enjoying themselves and Tom clearly enjoyed having them there, wandering over to them to share a dance and watching as they each performed various solo moments.
The same with the rest of the band on keys, guitars and drums each time one of them was taking on a solo, Tom watched on in delight often playing air guitar or air keys along with them.
The middle of the set saw a change to a slower pace as he took on ballads that were hauntingly beautiful, from a dedication to Elvis in which Tom explained playing the track to Priscilla Presley and receiving her approval “it’s good enough for me” he said. Followed by a stunning rendition of Tower of Song. If there’s one thing that can be said about his ageing, is that he’s done it well. This song in particular the lyrics ring true to his story and his crystal clear vocal simply backed up that this remarkable man was indeed born to sing.
One thing that didn’t go unnoticed was his humour. Tom likes to tell a story as he progresses and include not only a few anecdotes along the way but a dirty joke or two as well. Raising his glass with a tradition Welsh cheers of “Lechyd da” Explaining to those who aren’t Welsh that it means “Good Health”, he also explained to the crowd that many people used to think it meant “Up your kilt” – “But we don’t wear kilts in Wales they only wear kilts in Scotland”, “And do you know why they wear kilts in Scotland?” he asked with a devilish grin before laughing to himself and sharing “Because the sheep can hear a zipper a mile away”.
Towards the end of the night more well known tracks came to light finally bring the crowd to their feet. Reworked Latin inspired It’s Not Unusual a highlight of the night with Tom busting a move similar to a solo Samba and the crowd on their feet, it was clearly party time followed by Mama Told Me Not To Come and You Can Leave Your Hat On. I was expecting it much earlier but it was during this track that the first pair of hot pink knickers were launched on stage, landing at his feet, he either didn’t seem them or he did a great job at pretending he didn’t. Thankfully it didn’t start a trend with only a few others pairs being thrown and falling short of the stage.
I Wish You Would rounded out the set with an all in party many up out of their chairs dancing two women in particular who came from opposites ends of the room and by the end of it were dancing arm in arm, again the brass section encouraging the dancing and clapping making sure everyone was feeling good. It was a nod of the head, a small bow and blown kiss and Sir Tom had left the stage leaving the band to finish the set.
A couple of minutes later after loud chants of “We want Tom” The band returned, shortly thereafter followed by Tom. An incredible encore that included Thunderball, Kiss and Strange Things Happen. Tom took a moment to introduce the band members and a thank you to the crew members before they took a group bow and left the stage.
During the show he announced that he is now 75. A remarkable effort to still not only be touring, but performing so well.
His voice – flawless, his charm – never ending, his humour – endearing and the overall performance was outstanding. From beginning to end the crowd were hooked, there is a clear reason Tom is still a superstar and it’s because he’s not just a singer he’s an entertainer. He is engaging and interactive from start to finish. This is a show that everyone needs to see. Truly fabulous!

On Sunday night, the people of Perth were lucky enough to witness the specular Sir Tom Jones at Kings Park. Supported by local group Odette Mercy and Her Soul Atomics and the marvelous Mahalia Barnes with her band The Soul Mates, this would be a night that would go down in history. Even though it was still ridiculously humid at five o’clock, Kings Park became rapidly filled to its capacity. With a sold out show, it was no wonder everyone was keen to get down there early not to miss an opportunity of a lifetime. Odette Mercy and Her Soul Atomics set the mood for the evening, as they played a funky, jazzy and soulful performance. Similar in aesthetics and sound to Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates, Mercy’s set differed in style as it was more laid back and easy listening. The relaxed atmosphere made it easier for everyone to bear the heat, as they bought more and more ice cold drinks. The six-member band incorporated a variety of instruments including a saxophone and a trumpet. However it was Odette Mercy’s wonderful voice that stood out the most.
As the sun finally set, a giant sigh of relief filled Kings Park. The Sun took the heat away with it, leaving in it’s presence, a beautiful balmy night making way to the stage the incredible Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates. The five-piece band consisting of (Mahalia’s husband) Ben Rodgers on bass, Franco Raggatt on Guitar, Paul Grey on Keys and Dave Hibbard on Drums, played a variety of blues, soul and rock throughout the hour. Barnes, with her soulful and powerful vocal abilities, covered quite a few Betty Davis songs, such as If I’m In Luck I Might Get Picked Up, and Ike & Tina Turner’s song River Deep, Mountain High, but it was her cover of Carol King’s (famously covered by Aretha Franklin) (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, that left everyone with goose bumps as they sang along. As The Soul Mates gave a poetically melodic performance, Barnes sang each note which such talent and beauty. The cover was a chilling and captivating piece, making it a highlight of the night. Barnes and The Soul Mates sang a few songs off their EP Volume 1, including a beautiful tribute to Barnes and Ben’s daughter Ruby, called Little Lights. Finishing the set off they performed Tina Turner’s song Proud Mary, everyone got up and danced, having such a great time, and it was clear Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates made a lasting impression on the audience.
Opening with one of his newer hits Burning Hell, Tom Jones lit up the stage as everyone cheered and whistled. Wearing his smart yet casual suit, Jones had the audience captivated from the very beginning with his magnificently haunting yet timeless voice. Speaking about his friendship with Elvis Presley and his time spent in Las Vegas, Jones sang his song Run On, a bluesy and country rock song that got everyone grooving in their spot. After Run On, Jones sang Don’t Knock and Didn’t It Rain but it was his fifth song Sex Bomb that had the audience’s complete enthusiastic attention. Women of all ages threw their underwear on stage which made it obvious that yes, Sir Tom Jones of 75 years of age, still had it. Starting the song off slowly, with just a guitar and his voice, Jones created a mysterious element to the famous song. Building up a climax the lights shone onto the crowd and all the instruments joined in for a faster pace. By his eighth song Black Eyed Susie, Jones’ shirt was complete drenched in sweat, which he modestly acknowledged “it shouldn’t be this hot in March?” As he spoke about the rugby earlier that day, it was clear there were a lot of Welsh in the audience as they started to boo. Jones spoke about where in Wales he was from and then launched into the more country than rock song. Nine people joined him on stage, so there was a large variety of instruments, including a trombone, a sax, a trumpet, piano, keys, drums, guitar and an accordion. The tenth song was the famous Delilah, which had everyone captivated as Jones sang the start by himself, “I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window.” A soulful beginning that gained momentum as the instruments picked up. I’ll Never Fall In Love Again, and Soul Of a Man were next, then Tom Jones did a cover of Gillian Welch’s Elvis Presley Blues “That’s a strong song, that’s Elvis’ life in three verses.” People were having the time of their lives, as many of the older generation relived their youths for hits such as Green Green Grass Of Home, It’s Not Unusual, You Can Leave Your Hat On, I Wish You Would and Kiss. Tom Jones surprised everyone as he performed non-stop with such charisma, strength and talent for two energetic hours. After thanking everyone briefly and walking off stage, it was clear it wasn’t over yet as Jones and the band came back on stage for the encore. Finishing the night off with a “rock n roll, gospel, rhythm n blues, soulful” bang, Jones performed the song, suggested to him by Little Richard, Strange Things Happen Everyday. Always modest to acknowledge everyone else behind his music, Sir Tom Jones thanked the band one by one, as they all bowed together. “Goodnight and god bless you all” were his last words, extremely fitted as everyone left feeling a little bit more blessed than before.
