Tom Jones in Budapest

Already 70 but younger than ever, Tom Jones returned in 2009, after four years of absence, with a brand new studio album (his 37th) entitled 24 Hours. His European tour, organized to promote the new material, has a stop in Budapest at 8 PM on the 11th of November, in the Papp László Sportaréna, where the legendary singer will mesmerize his audience once again.

The Welsh Tom Jones was discovered at the beginning of the sixties, he performed in the famous Ed Sullivan Show and delighted everyone with his first hit, It’s Not Unusual; only a couple of years after that Delilah and his biggest success Green Green Grass Of Home came out and soon he had his own TV-show on ABC. During the seventies he conquered Las Vegas with his many concerts, international audiences with his world tours, and female fans with She’s a Lady. The eighties brought an unexpected success: the MTV generation embraced the artist when he joined Prince in singing Kiss, the cooperation resulting in several awards and great sales figures. And naturally he was reborn in the nineties too, when he became the favourite singer of young audiences again with hits like If I Only Knew and Sex Bomb.
During his career he performed duets with stars like Elvis Presley and Luciano Pavarotti, he made cameo appearances in feature films, played an animated character in The Simpsons and sang numerous movie soundtracks. He was the guest of honour of President Clinton at the Millenium celebrations and was knighted by the Queen of England in 2006; he was a winner at the Grammys and Brits and has countless other awards.

Although time and time again his managers and public relations staff have attempted to change his sex-symbol image in order to replace the screaming fans with a crowd more proper to his age, to the delight of his audiences Tom Jones has never toned down his behaviour in the shows. He was able to surprise the world, come up with a new style in every decade, and make his music irreplaceable when it comes to radio top lists and private parties.
His career started almost fifty years ago so Tom Jones will surely give his best to bring together grandparents and youngsters on an unforgettable evening – you can still order a ticket and be a part of it.
