Itinerary - From Billboard Review - Tom
mentions the reason for the open dates on his schedule - "We’ve
kept stuff open on purpose,” Jones says. “I’ve got to do two

We
are absolutely delighted to announce that the legendary Tom Jones
is set to appear at this year’s Latitude Festival with a special
performance on Thursday July 15th. The appearance with his band will
see Tom performing songs from his forthcoming album ‘Praise &
Blame’ at midnight In The Woods.
This
landmark album comes in the singer’s 70th year, a glowing
achievement in what has been a ground-breaking, unpredictable
roller-coaster of a 45-year career. The songs from ‘Praise
& Blame’ (released 26th July on Island Records), are from a
repertoire that includes American traditional, gospel and country,
seeing Tom going back to his roots and creating a truly evocative
musical work, aided and abetted by producer/musician Ethan Johns.
Tom
Jones says of ‘Praise & Blame’: “It’s food for thought,
it’s real, it’s natural, and in that sense it’s truly me.”
Latitude
Festival returns for an
incredible 5th Edition on 15-18th July 2010
set in the beautiful countryside of Henham Park Estate on Suffolk’s
Sunrise Coast.
Unlike
any other festival, Latitude has built its sterling reputation as a
brave and pioneering event with a line-up like no other. In the
beautiful Suffolk countryside, Latitude provides only the very
best of music, theatre, comedy, literature,
film, poetry, dance, art, fashion
and cabaret for an exceptional three days and nights of heady
indulgence and scintillating entertainment. Four arenas are
dedicated to an exciting selection of musical talent from emerging
bands, international stars and homegrown heroes, whilst the arts
onsite command no less than thirteen arenas and areas providing
something for everybody, no matter what your preferences. Latitude
continues to be the complete summer weekend vacation.
This
performance by Tom Jones will quite possibly be blowing the leaves off
the trees when he takes to the secluded and magical stage In The Woods
at midnight….

Note from Tom's Management -
Unfortunately, there has been some mis-information in the press
regarding Tom’s upcoming show at Norwich FC on June 5. It has been
reported that this show will be ‘an exclusive 70th Birthday
celebration show’. To clarify for our fans and supporters, we
can confirm there is no ‘Birthday’ element involved, as indeed
there are no public celebrations of this nature planned.
Fans will be treated to the same
exceptional show that has garnered universally fantastic reviews as it
has travelled around the world — so do join us, looking forward to
seeing you at the wonderful Norwich FC stadium!

Latest News on Tom's condition:
Due to Doctor's orders, Tom had to cancel the
rescheduled performance in Singapore on 4/1 and both performances in
Seoul, on 4/2 and 4/3. Tom has been on voice rest all week in
Singapore but Doctors are not able to guarantee that Tom would be able
to perform the full show at 100% vocal strength and warned that by
performing he could risk serious damage to his vocal chords.
Next scheduled performance will be on 4/7 in South Africa.
Hopefully Tom will be 100% by then. We all wish him the best and
will keep him in our prayers.
