obviously what I love doing, I never<br />
chased being a presenter of a TV show<br />
and I never chased being a voiceover<br />
artist. These were things that people<br />
just asked me to do and I was like,<br />
“Yeah, why not? Let’s give it a go”.<br />
So what can we expect from your<br />
Haydock show?<br />
Just a fun, energetic show - I’m going<br />
to give everything, I want people to<br />
be smiling again. I miss seeing lovely<br />
smiles and that’s why we’re on stage.<br />
It’s just so people having a good time,<br />
enjoy themselves. You’ve had such<br />
sadness over this last year, such difficult<br />
times as a nation so it’d be great for me anyway, I’d love<br />
to come to Haydock, have a great night with everyone<br />
enjoying themselves everyone have a good time and I<br />
can’t wait - bring it on!<br />
A stellar line-up talent has been announced for<br />
the Tom Jones concert on Saturday 28th <strong>August</strong>.<br />
The concert, which will be taking place on a nonraceday,<br />
will see Dublin-born Imelda May and<br />
television personality-turned bona fide star Megan<br />
McKenna joining the bill.<br />
Tom Jones’ career has spanned over half a century and<br />
has seen him win many accolades including a BRIT Award<br />
for Outstanding Contribution to Music and a Silver Clef<br />
Award for <strong>Life</strong>time Achievement.<br />
A global star, who was knighted by Her Majesty the<br />
Queen in 2006, he has amassed 36 top 40 UK hits and<br />
has a continued worldwide reputation as one of the great<br />
vocalists, earning the nickname ‘The Voice’. He continues<br />
to be a coach on the hit ITV show of the same name.<br />
Returning to Haydock Park he will be performing from his<br />
huge repertoire of hits, spanning genres and generations<br />
including ‘Kiss’, ‘Delilah’ and ‘It’s Not Unusual’.<br />
Released last month, Imelda May’s sixth studio album<br />
‘11 Past The Hour’ is a record that brims with sensuality,<br />
emotional intelligence, spirituality and intuition,<br />
marking a new chapter for Imelda and showcasing her<br />
at her most authentic. Imelda has toured extensively<br />
and performed with the likes of Van Morrison and U2,<br />
appeared on multiple shows (notably some jaw-dropping<br />
performances on Later… With Jools Holland), and hosted<br />
her own programme on Irish TV, The Imelda May Show.<br />
Megan McKenna first came to prominence as a television<br />
personality on shows like ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ and<br />
‘Celebrity Big Brother’. After her debut country album<br />
‘Story Of Me’ was released in 2018, two singles from the<br />
album debuted at #1 & #2 on iTunes and the following<br />
year she won ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’. She has proven her<br />
talents in the live arena too, completing two nationwide<br />
headline tours and is booked to play the main stage at the<br />
Isle of Wight Festival this summer.<br />
