@mario Farrugia you asked whats wrong with the English forever whinging, they just get up my nose with all their moaning about Malta-My Country, if i were to moan about theirs and their ugly weather they soon tell me where to go so i can reverse that in my favour, after all its a free country or are we being taken over again for the second time wround by these Brits??? Heaven forbid..

ITs nice to hear abt the coming of Tom Jones in Malta - ims ure hes worth a visit - but once can never compare the quality sound produced in this coutnry with concerts overseas. An ocean of difference.
Even people's attitude. here generally the high cost tickets are full of complimentary tickets who jsut go becuaseu they got a free ticket and they stay a whole evening seated down beggin for the ones in front them to sit down until they will hear the last encore with the GREEN GRASSS of HOME :)

I say ol'chap Andrew Aguis@ and Whats wrong with the English always whinging may i ask? don't get me wrong but i say its good for the ENGLISH TO MOAN AND WHING, you know why,at least they are honest enough to open their gob/mouth whatever and come out with it face front, unlike some other nationalites don't care to mention right now, who are not whingers but two faced, they just keep it to themselves and say nothing, but i garantee if there is anything to their dislike in Malta they certainly will not return, so at least the ENGLISH we all know there are quite a few of them living in Malta by the sheer amount of flags sticking out on roof tops, they say what they feel and criticize us so we can maybe? improve the situation, i hope you get what i am trying to say, so i say WHING my firends its for the good of the country, however whether you return or not well thats on'e choice but are very welcomed to come back as we badly need the tourists, and without tourists we got no jobs. Whats this got to do with T.Jones anyroad?????????

Good on you Tommy Boy, YOU MUST BE THE OLDEST SWINGER IN TOWN AS THE SONG GOES , Irish song Lyrics and Guitar chords written by Ep. Pickford on Youtube. I will not be going to his show cause its not quite my taste althougt its a pity about the cancellation of the Golden sixties comeback, a couple of weeks back, but i think my wife is certainly looking forward to his show.

@Charlie Debono - why are you lot always whingeing about English whingers? You lost the war, get over it.
Tom Jones/Woodward is 3/4 English too.
For all the (Maltese) whingers, Tom Jones is a great performer and it will be wonderful to see him here. I just don't t hink there's enough dosh in Malta to get U2 over, we are after all about the same size as a large Welsh town.

TOM JONES ... wow .... thankyou whoever had this idea !!!!! This is real music. I'm only young but I love this sort of music.
I don't believe some of you people - it's not your taste in music so you moan and complain!!
Various artists that i don't like have visited our island. I never complained!!
So please if you don't like it, keep it to yourself.
Don't let's be called an ignorant nation with no taste in music, because beleive me that's what some people think when they read certain comments.

@T.L Mizzi & E.Marmara
Unlike Marty Wilde, Helen Shapiro & Paul Anka, Tom Jones is not just an artist of the sixties but of the 70s, the 80s, the 90s & Today; You can't compare him with them; He's probably the biggest name ever to come to Malta after Elton John. And even though he's nearly 70 he can still sing with more power than any 20 year old in the charts today. I've seen him in Vegas years ago and he was the second best live singer I've ever seen after the Big 'O'. I'm really looking forward to see him live again.

@ Emmanuel Marmara,

I agree with you Mr Marmara.
These are all great singers from the golden era.
Don't forget Marty Wilde and Helen Shapiro from your list.

Yes most definitly the only Whingers on the islands are most definitly THE ENGLISH in my opinion and so to many others i know,.. never stop rabbiting about our island.Makke them pay through the nose, i would have.

Aug 30th 2009, 19:58

ALL THOSE WHO ARE MOANING ..THEY REALY DON'T KNOW ONE THING ABOUT MUSIC OR THE SINGERS THAT SINGS THEM...I GO TO LONDON EVERY TWO MONTHS..YES EVERY TWO MONTHS TO SEE THE LIKE OF TOM JONES...PAUL ANKA...CLIFF RICHARD... AND ALL THE OTHER FAMOUS OR LEGENDS ( AS SOMEONE SAID ) TO HEAR / SEE THEM SING...AS I USED TO IN THE BACK GOLDEN YEARS...AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I NEVER EVER HEARD ONE WORD OF FREDDY PORTELLI, WHO SURELY IS NOT GETTING YOUNGER AND HE'S STILL POPULAR .... THE GOLDEN ERA KEEPS GOING YEAR AFTER YEAR...

Tom Jones wow, not bad not quite my cup of tea, now had you said ELVIS (live)??? i would have said yes most defintly even for 100€ i would still have gone to the his concert.

Sue Norman

Aug 30th 2009, 19:29

So i suppose being English i have to pay the full price do i, What about Anne Robinson then will she get a discount, she is definitly a Welsh lover (LOL)?

Richard Davies

Aug 30th 2009, 18:59

Just as a matter of interest since Tom Jones is actually WELSH...* and there are alot of us Welsh residents in Malta, i wonder if we can get a discount , nevermind the English, The Irish and the Scots .. they have to pay the full price the are not Welsh and probably cannot speak welsh either, we can.

Maybe Tom Jones is secretly Maltese ?

Withall that lingerie thrown at you all these years. Do you collect them, Tom? Are they precious to you ?
By now you well know the difference between the sun and women's lingerie. 1. They are both hot 2. They look better while going down. 3. they both disappear by night.
Welcome Tom, from the bottom of my heart Welcome.

To the few who commented about Tom Jones being 'Old', I say this, this man is not just a superstar, he is a LEGEND in the musical world. You can only dream of ever being someone like TOM JONES. The man is a amazing singer. You should be honoured that he is coming to your country. Mind you, probably you wouldn't know one note from another if truth will out.

Wow, Tom Jones!?!? I thought he was retired...! Maybe we'll also manage to see U2 at MFCC in 20 years time too!

Have you seen the list of countries on this tour, most of Europe and the USA and here in Malta you have some people moaning because of his age. Come on, even if his music is not to your taste don't knock the fact that he is doing a concert here. Great's like Roger Water's, Mick Jagger, Elton John and Rod Stewart all in their sixties and still rocking.

Justin Camilleri

Excellent move NNG!! Its great that you bring such great artistes to Malta. For those who were
going up to see him at Wembley Arena in October they will save flight costs and Hotel/accomodation in London. With regards to comments that Tom Jones is too old I completely disagree; He is simply vintage getting better with age. I mean you only need to hear his 1999 album Reload; it is sheer proof as to how he managed to reinvent his career for the 2000's.

Maybe we should organise parties from the old people's homes for a DISCOUNT PRICE 35€ is a bit steep for the pensioners.

ELIZABETH SCHEMBRI

Not a big fan of Tom Jones but I still admire him a lot. So what if he is old? Age is not a problem. If you are young at heart you will be young forever.

@ A Abela, Joe Fenech

Is it possible for everyone to stop complaining on every single thing happening on these islands?? Is it possible to find some positivity in some news.. someday, perhaps?

carmel Debono

Aug 30th 2009, 14:30

I would have seen him for sure but at the MFCC no sorry not in a tent I have been disapointed before and in any case I shall see him in London in October as well as Cliff Richards and the shadows

Ruby Jenner

Aug 30th 2009, 14:04

Tom Jones might not be in his prime but he is a world class performer with a powerful voice and anyone who loves music will enjoy his concert.

A Abela

Aug 30th 2009, 13:25

He is old now. Get some younger ones.

I`m so glad to hear this news, I shall be the first to attend and looking forward to buy my ticket for this splendid event.
