Built by the first Earl of Suffolk, Lord Treasurer to James I, the Jacobean-style Audley End House is one of the most magnificent of its type in England.
And this fabulous location, dear reader, is where we will be this Sunday - for an open-air concert by the legend that is Sir Tom Jones, Tom Jones!
The excitement is building...
"Normal" service will resume on Monday (or Tuesday, depending how late we get back)...
Ooh, I hope you get to share a room!
ReplyDeleteAudley End House has loads of bedrooms. If I was staying there, I wouldn't be sharing! Jx
DeleteNot even with Tom Jones?
DeleteA few decades ago, most definitely! These days he's more "venerable old man" than "Sex Bomb" - although he did sing that number at the Audley End concert, and women still screamed. I didn't see much in the way of knicker-throwing, though... Jx
DeleteOoooh, I hope you come back with your underwear!
ReplyDeleteI'm bringing my second-best undies and a catapult to make sure they hit the stage... Jx
DeleteThe contrast between the setting and the star leaves my mind reeling.
ReplyDeleteSir Tom never failed to surprise us.... Jx
DeleteOh fabulous! Have a terrific time - love this tune!
ReplyDeleteSx
We certainly did have a fabulous time, Ms Scarlet! Jx
DeleteWonderful place.The Jones boy's ok, too.
ReplyDelete'E was half tidy, aye! Jx
DeletePS The concert and venue weren't bad, either 🤣
Tom Jones' "Kiss" was featured on Now XIII - the first Now compilation that I ever bought - and as such, got a LOT of play!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a whippersnapper...
DeleteLooking back at my diary, 1994 was a busy year, with holidays/trips to Tunisia, the Gower peninsula, Bath, Morlaix in Brittany, St Ives, Bristol, Ilfracombe, Amsterdam, Bournemouth and London (including my first ever visit to Kew Gardens). I don't think I bought any NTWICM LPs that year...! Jx
