Tom Jones to headline a night at Eden Sessions

Tom Jones will headline the night of Sunday, 26th June at the 15th annual Eden Sessions held in the surroundings of the Eden Project in Cornwall.

Tom last played in Cornwall in September 1983 at the now-closed Cornwall Coliseum in Carlyon Bay near St. Austell.

Eden's marketing director Rita Broe said, "The word legend is often bandied around but there are few artists for which it is more appropriate than Sir Tom Jones. Since he first found fame in the 1960s, his songs have been part of the musical fabric of the world and we’re incredibly proud to be able to bring him to the Eden Sessions stage. It promises to be a magical, memorable and very fun night."

Lionel Richie is the only other act confirmed to appear, he will play the Eden Sessions on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th June. The other nights have not yet been announced.
