My Nan knew Tom when he started off playing the clubs around Wales, and she said that he had such awful acne that none of the girls would go near him then because of it! I bet they all had some regrets in the years to come!
Tom Jones was playing in Abu Dhabi a few weeks ago and although I didn't go, friends of mine did and they said it was one of the best concerts they had been to and he had the whole place buzzing and still lots of knickers being thrown on the stage.
About 12 years ago when I was living in Cardiff, I was having a drink in a pub where Tom Jones' backing band were playing the night before his concert at the CIA.
Half way through the bands second set Tom turned up at the pub for a drink with the band, and he then joined them on stage for an impromptu gig. He did about six songs and everyone in the pub was singing along. It was a great night out.
