| Since the release of the UK Government roadmap, The Jockey Club Live have been working hard behind the scenes regarding the return of live music to Haydock Park Racecourse this summer. With the planned reopening of large-scale events scheduled for Monday 21st June, the Tom Jones show will be moving from Saturday 19th June to Saturday 28th August 2021. This performance will be taking place on a non-raceday and as such there will only be one enclosure (Grandstand & Paddock). Any customers who have booked for other enclosures will be refunded the difference in price and tickets will automatically be transferred to the new date. Ticketholders will be contacted and also given the option of requesting a full refund or e-voucher to attend another music night or racing fixture of their choice. Olly Murs’ headline performance at Haydock Park Racecourse will continue as scheduled on Saturday 17th July, following a full six-race card. For an artist such as Sir Tom Jones, with over 100 million record sales to his name, certain milestones loom large over the horizon – and with those milestones come certain expectations. A few years ago, Tom’s record label raised the topic of his 80th birthday in June 2020. When you’ve enjoyed 36 Top 40 hits spanning five decades, a new Greatest Hits collection, perhaps accompanied by a TV special, somewhat suggests itself. People start to use the word ‘legacy’ a lot – and not, in this case, without good reason. If you want to talk about ‘legacy’ and Tom Jones, it’s hard to know where to begin. Musical calling cards such as It’s Not Unusual, What’s New Pussycat, Delilah, If I Only Knew and Sex Bomb barely scratch the surface of a career in which also takes in networked prime time TV shows spanning over five decades both in America and the UK, countless Las Vegas residencies and a string of Grammy, Ivor Novello and Brit Awards. But, after a period of upheaval which saw him come to terms with the loss of Linda his wife of 59 years, and spend time in hospital with a bacterial infection, Tom’s instinct was not to reflect upon his legacy, but further extend it with new album Surrounded By Time, released on 23rd April, the result. Tickets are on sale now via thejockeyclublive.co.uk. Tickets for Tom Jones are £43.12 for adults and £22.40 for children (inclusive of transaction fees).
