The Shires are added as special guests for Tom Jones’ show on Wednesday 15th June 2022. Tickets are on-sale now.
The Shires, the UK’s best-selling country act of all time, have been announced as guests for Tom Jones’ special outdoor show this summer at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the Chelsea Pensioners.
The show on Wednesday 15th June will see the glorious courtyard of the Royal Hospital Chelsea transformed into one of the most stunning and unique concert venues in the country.
The Shires, compromised of Crissie Rhodes and Ben Earls, shot to fame nearly 10 years ago finding success on both sides of the Atlantic. The duo have won multiple awards, headlined the Acoustic stage at Glastonbury, have achieved four No,.1 albums.
Celebrating 10 years as a band with their new album ’10 Year Plan’ and lead single ‘I See Stars’, they’re still wowing audiences with their distinctive country pop sounds.
With a career spanning over 50 years, Tom Jones has gone from strength to strength, with his seminal and ubiquitous hits such as ‘It’s Not Unusual’, ‘Kiss’, ‘Delilah’, ‘What’s New Pussycat’, ‘I’ll Never Fall In Love Again’, ‘Sex Bomb’, and more.
Along with sustaining his popularity as a live performer and recording artist for more than five decades, he continues to garner critical acclaim, including with the release of his most recent number 1 album, last year’s ‘Surrounded By Time’.
The album, the latest in his series of collaborations with producer Ethan Johns, again saw Sir Tom delve further into his love of Blues & Soul, featuring his versions of songs by the likes of Bob Dylan, The Waterboys, Cat Stevens & more.
It is the most recent high point in a career full of highlights, including being knighted by Her Majesty the Queen in 2006. Other highlights of his long career include receiving BRIT Awards for Best Male and Outstanding Contribution to Music, a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Hitmaker Award from the [US] Songwriters Hall of Fame, GQ Man Of The Year, and the prestigious [UK] Music Industry Trust Award.
Tom Jones previously performed at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 2019, a show which The Times gave 5*s and commented Jones was ‘… on magnificent, mischievous form from beginning to end’.
