Tom Jones kicked off an unforgettable evening of music at Cardiff Castle, stunning fans with his legendary hits and heartfelt words. The 85-year-old Welsh icon began the show with “I’m Growing Old,” sweeping the crowd into an emotional journey and proving there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. Tom reminisced about his Welsh roots, sharing his love for being back, saying, “Wales lives in me” even though he hasn’t lived there for years.
From his humble beginnings in Treforest, just a stone’s throw from Cardiff, to global fame with residencies in Las Vegas, his Welsh spirit remains famously intact. As he joked and sang between songs, Tom even led the crowd in a joyous chant of ‘Oggy oggy oggy!’ before sharing a cheeky childhood story about an old school mate and a formidable teacher, admitting a burst eardrum wasn’t enough to dull his sense of humour.
Tom Jones continues to light up the stage on the first of his two night concert series at Cardiff Castle, marking his first performance in the Welsh capital since a trio of sold-out shows in 2023. Fans queued eagerly to relive the magic, this time with even more anticipation after some recent cancellations in Germany due to illness.
