Tom Jones Just Loves Glastonbury…………

Pop legend Tom Jones has recently admitted to love playing at the mostly Indie Glastonbury Festival, the singer also proclaimed that his expierence with his performance in the early 90’s was clearly an unforgetable one. Mr Tom Jone’s most valuble memory of the show was when he noticed two guys in the front row who had created a banner and stuck it on a pole, the banner read ‘Tom Fucking Jones’. So will the ‘Green Green Grass’ man play at the festival, who knows, its all in good time my friend, all in good time.
