The Tom Jones show includes all the hits from Tom’s incredibly long and varied career from it’s very beginning with ‘its not unusual’, right up to some of the more contemporary songs he has recorded recently. You will hear all your favourites plus any requests you may have.
The legendary rock and roll genius, Elvis Presley was one of Tom’s major influences and Mr Presley’s songbook can be included in the Tom Jones show in the second part of the performance during the request set. Tom often credits Presley as an influence on his work and so songs like jailhouse rock, the American trilogy, return to sender, always on my mind, can’t help falling in love, it’s now or never and many more can be requested.
Tom has been influenced by Motown, rock and roll, rhythm and blues and soul and he is synonymous with the musical revolution that took place during the 1960’s. Many of the classic 60’s mega hits can be included in the Tom Jones Show if requested, E; g, ‘My girl, stand by me, up on the roof, pretty woman’ – some of which Tom has actually recorded himself, all the 60’s feel good hits!
The Beatles were contemparies of Tom’s during the 1960’s, the worked together and were part of the same surge of great music that came out of England during the 1960’s. Many of the Beatles hits have been recorded by Tom and can be included in Ian’s sets like; ‘Twist and shout, all my loving, I saw her standing there’ and many more.
Ian loves to get the audience dancing, he often says ‘There is nothing more I like to see than the audience dancing and having a great time, the most important thing is that everyone enjoys the experience of the show’. Disco hits and party music can also be designed to keep the dance floor full and everyone joining in can be included. Party hits like ‘dance the night away, wake me up before you go go, walking on sunshine, hey baby’ and lots more.
CORE VALUES
I believe that allowing yourself the luxury of knowing it is going to be right, is a luxury everyone should be able to afford. A singer always owes the audience everything he can give and more. Give openly of your talent and your heart, what is in a singer’s heart must be in every note or he has failed. No matter how technically correct he is singing. A singer’s greatest satisfaction should be to know that his work has enriched the lives of those he has been privileged to sing to. A singer is first an interpreter of stories, when I sing it is like sitting down and telling a story. Respect the audience, they are always the most important judge of your work, always thank them for letting you sing for them.
Bring a point of view, but be flexible. Be truthful when you sing and when you speak. Mean what you say and always do what you say you will. An audience can sense sincerity, be worthy of your goals, your heroes and mentors. Be courageous in your musical choices, surprise the audience and never settle for less. Never break your word, it is your most precious asset. Find a path you love and the work becomes your passion. I will do everything I can to make your event the best I can, and this is my promise to you.
Quality can always be improved; preparation is quality’s best friend. Always buy the best musical equipment, the best is always the cheapest. There is no shortcut to quality.
Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle. Devote yourself to the perfection of what you do. Think before you speak, before you sing and before you walk on stage. Never be complacent or content. Be better.
There is something sacred about music, be generous in your musical choices. Every time you walk on stage you have the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently. Be articulate, flexible and expressive. Be passionate, don’t take yourself too seriously, music is the shorthand of emotion. Be truthful when you sing and when you speak. Try to be nice to everyone. Be grateful, be kind, be sincere.
Be brave, be positive, never negative. Represent your values and encapsulate them. Know one becomes a singer because of the money, be dedicated, don’t give up, you have to respect yourself, only then can you learn to respect others. Always pay attention and always find the joy. Your profession is not what brings home your pay cheque, it’s what you were put on earth to do, so do it with such passion and integrity that it becomes spiritual in its calling.
Be 100% present, always. Remember that your profession is not what you do, it is who you are. When you sing, earn the privilege of your audience’s time. You are what you do so do it with enthusiasm. If you don’t take risks, you risk even more. Be early, be ready and say thank you. Remember opportunity is missed by many people because it is often dressed in overalls and looks like hard work. A professional always finds his truth in the work. You already buy yourself energy and creativity if you come prepared and are early TRUST
