Sir Tom Jones to perform concert at racecourse

Sir Tom Jones will perform at Market Rasen Racecourse in August

Sir Tom Jones is to perform at a Lincolnshire racecourse.

The 84-year-old Welsh superstar will be at the Market Rasen track on 16 August.

It is one of a number of concerts scheduled over the summer.

Jones, who performed at the venue in 2015, said he was "really pleased to be returning".

He achieved fame in the 1960s with a string of hits including What's New Pussycat, It's Not Unusual and Delilah as well as recording the theme song for the James Bond film Thunderball.

In recent years he has seen a resurgence in his career, winning a Brit Award in 2000 and working as a judge on the TV talent show The Voice.

Jack Pryor, general manager at Market Rasen Racecourse, said: "Tom Jones has long been overdue a return visit to Market Rasen Racecourse, and we're ecstatic to be welcoming him back this August.

"When he headlined 10 years ago, he attracted record crowds so we can't wait for so many of you to join us this summer."
