Local Life - Wigan - August 2021

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