Tom Jones Live in Hong Kong

[nick-w]

Following on the heels of his universally praised and successful album 24 Hours, Tom Jones is pleased to announce his Asia Tour in March, 2010.

He will be staging at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre on March 24, 2010 for one night only!




HK fans will see Sir Tom performing tracks from his latest album 24 Hours and his innumerable hits from the past 4 decades, such as “It’s not unusual”, “Green green grass of home”, “Delilah”, “She’s a lady”, “What’s new pussycat”, “Thunderball”, “I’ll never fall in love again”, “I’m coming home”, “Baby it’s cold outside”, “Without love”, “Sex bomb”, “Kiss”, “Mama told me not to come”…etc.

Tom is a living legend who has befriended, collaborated and hung out with practically every key character in the music and showbiz worlds; he has the rare ability to cut across generations and genres, appealing to young and old, mainstream and cutting edge alike. One of the great performers of both the 20th and 21st centuries, he’s widely recognized as one of the godfathers of modern soul, a man without whom the likes of Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson, Joss Stone and Duffy would never have existed.

Incredibly, after making music for 45 years, it has been suggested by critics on both sides of the Atlantic that his latest album 24 Hours might just be his best yet. Recently certified Gold, it is a collection of largely original songs that Tom has co-written, containing some of the most personal and revealing work in his 5 decade long career.

“[24 Hours] delivers his most honest and contemporary sound in years….A stunning return”.
Music Week

“Listening to Tom Jones remains a pleasure….on this form, long may it continue” The Times

“”Possibly a career best” Daily Express (London)

“[Tom’s voice] remains a white soul phenomenon” Evening Standard

“His voice is lush and unwavering” Chicago Sun Times

“[24 Hours] is a splashy, bombastic, large-sounding platter of future-retro swagger.” Billboard

“24 Hours combines big-band sounds with catchy beats and a voice that can still reach the back rows” NPR Weekend Edition
In 2009, Tom is thoroughly enjoying bringing a show that presents repertoire from the 60’s to the present to audiences in a variety of venues across the world. Reviews to date in the US have been abundant with praise:

“Tom Jones’ hugely entertaining set…found the Welsh singer having more fun than would appear healthy for a man his age….he performed his songs with an energy, flair and wit that should put performers half his age to shame” Variety

“He…served notice that [he] still has it going on, and it was no idle boast” Boston Globe

“This performer’s true calling card has always been the pipes. Tom Jones [performed with] the iron will of a true entertainer who proved he still has what it takes….and you had to love him” Vanity Fair
