    MK’s punk rabble originally called time way back in 2007, but there have been reformations in recent years and the boys have been continuing the stage invasions in 2016. Maybe now is a good time to dip back into their trio of albums for old time’s sake?

    Tom Jones

    Bedford Park, Sunday, August 7

    With a career that has spanned more than half a century and with more than 100 million record sales generated by hits such as It’s Not Unusual, Kiss, Delilah and What’s New Pussycat, Tom Jones will entertain with all the hip-swivelling action.

    His many accolades include a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music and a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement. Knighted in 2006, Tom has amassed 36 top 40 UK hits. His irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, young and old, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. Tom has always been about the power of the voice and the power of the song and is one of the few musical artists whose profession began at the dawn of modern popular music who continues to have a vital recording and performing career.
