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’. Imelda has toured extensively and performed with the likes of Van Morrison and U2, appeared on multiple shows (notably some jawdropping performances on Later… With Jools Holland), and hosted her own programme on Irish TV, The Imelda May Show. Demonstrating her versatility, not to mention her brilliance on any kind of stage, in August 2017 she sang the Irish national anthem in Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena ahead of the Floyd Mayweather/ Conor McGregor fight. While music has always been Megan McKenna’s prime passion, she first came to prominence as a television personality on shows like ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’. In 2017 ‘There’s Something About Megan’ saw her travel to Nashville to experience the country music scene she had always loved and introduced her talents as a musician for the first time. The show’s success resulted in her debut

country album ‘Story Of Me’. Released in 2018, two singles from the album debuted at #1 & #2 on iTunes, knocking Taylor Swift and Pink off the top of the charts. The following year she won ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’, her performances firing her into the iTunes Top 5 during every week of the competition. This performance will be taking place on a nonraceday and as such there will only be one enclosure (Grandstand & Paddock). Tickets are on sale now via thejockeyclublive.co.uk.
