Greenwich Music Time Announces Additional Tom Jones Concert

Greenwich Music Time Announces Additional Tom Jones Concert

Due to phenomenal demand, Welsh superstar Tom Jones will perform an additional night at this year’s Greenwich Music Time. Lining up alongside Grammy Award-winning singer and guitarist George Benson, the multi-million-selling Flamenco superstars Gipsy Kings and legendary Kinks frontman Ray Davies, Jones will perform on the final two nights of the prestigious concert series after the organisers added an additional show on Monday July 27th to the sold-out headline slot already announced for Sunday 26th.

Set against the backdrop of the magnificent world-heritage listed site of The Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich Music Time stands out amongst London’s busy schedule of summer events thanks to its stunning riverside location and an eclectic line-up of international acts. Taking place from Thursday July 23rd – Monday July 27th, the concert series has become one of the must-see events of the summer, providing audiences with the opportunity to experience Greenwich’s unique historic landscape from an incredible perspective.

Peter Taylor of GMT Organisers Cuffe and Taylor:

“Perhaps unsurprisingly we’ve had to put an additional date on sale to cope with the overwhelming demand for tickets to see Sir Tom performing against the beautiful backdrop of the Old Royal Naval College this summer. The enthusiasm and excitement shown by the public is of course testament to the enduring popularity of one of the UK’s finest ever performers but we hope it is also an indication of the appeal of our event, which in only two years has built a reputation as one of the highlights of the live music calendar."

Performing on the opening night of Greenwich Music Time, The Australian Pink Floyd Show joins a world class programme that boasts international stars Jools Holland, Russell Watson and Goldfrapp. See attached press release for more information.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson: "Greenwich Music Time will add to the unbeatable variety of great music events that London hosts throughout the year. Amidst the historic surroundings of the Old Royal Naval College, it promises to be a summertime treat and will be another reason to visit this increasingly exciting part of the capital. I am a passionate believer in high quality music education and opportunities for young musicians to play live, so I am delighted that Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, who we are working with on one of our key education projects, are also involved."

Goldfrapp reveal latest single Thea

What has already been a brilliant year for Goldfrapp continues this month with the release of Thea, the latest single from their acclaimed Tales Of Us album, on 17 March 2014 followed by their nationwide tour.

Thea comes with a stellar remix package including brand new mixes by Twin Shadow, Blood Diamonds, WAWA and Red Top.

This week saw Goldfrapp undertake their most ambitious project to date, the Tales Of Us cinema event – a worldwide screening of the stunning film Tales Of Us followed immediately by an exclusive dramatic live performance transmitted into cinemas from the magnificent surroundings of the legendary Air Studios in London. This state-of-the-art experience was shown at packed cinemas across the UK, Europe and North America on the evening of 4 March 2014. Repeat performances are scheduled for late March/early April in Australia, New Zealand and additional cinemas across Europe and North America.

Inspired by Goldfrapp’s latest album, Tales Of Us, the striking film is a 30-minute journey through five of the individual stories featured on the album. Stranger, Laurel, Jo, Drew and Annabel interconnect subtly, sharing themes of love, loss, madness and identity, taking the viewer on a unique musical journey.

Meanwhile the Tales of Us album is available as a very special limited edition box set edition that features bonus audio and video content and a photographic hardback book compiled by Goldfrapp. Within the boxset there is a short featurette film ‘The Making of Tales of Us’.

The Tales Of Us film was co-created by Alison Goldfrapp and director & writer Lisa Gunning (Nowhere Boy, Seven Psychopaths, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen). The BBC called the film ‘bewitching and intimate - impressionist sketches of the characters who appear in the songs.’

The Goldfrapp UK tour also takes place this month, starting on 26 March 2014 at the Birmingham Symphony Hall and ending at the Gateshead Sage on 7 April 2014. The tour also includes a performance at the The Lowry in Salford, where Alison Goldfrapp curated her first ever art exhibition earlier this year.
