Tom Jones performed to an audience of 20,000 fans at an open air concert to celebrate his 65th birthday in his home town of Pontypridd. The singer performed hits from throughout his 40 year career, from his breakthrough hit, 'It's Not Unusual', and old favourites such as 'Delilah', to more recent offerings, 'Sex Bomb' and Stereophonics duet 'Mama Told Me Not to Come'.
Jones was joined on stage at the halfway point by Welsh classical singer Katherine Jenkins, who presented him with a huge birthday cake and sang 'Happy Birthday', and the concert was punctuated by recorded tributes given by names as diverse as Pontypridd-born former Rugby Union international Neil Jenkins, former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable, Welsh First Minister Rhodri Morgan, and Charlotte Church.
