Tom Jones: The legendary Welshman performed his 1st concert in Greece - See videos

The Welshman has been one of the most legendary names in the music world for six decades, yet he has never performed live in Greece.

Tom Jones finally set foot on Greek soil, took the stage at the Sani Festival in Halkidiki, and performed his legendary songs that made history.

At over 84 years old and having lived a fulfilled life with huge successes and international fame but also great passions, among which gambling and women, the Welsh performer with the incredible baritone "black" voice entertained fans in Greece.

During his sold-out concert, he performed all his classics, starting with 'It's Not Unusual', his first hit in 1965, as well as his other big hits that have sold more than 100 million copies, including the famous "Sex Bomb", "What's New Pussycat?", "Delilah" et al.

Every summer, from July to August, Sani Festival proudly brings together Greek and international artists, strengthening the cultural bond between natives and visitors.

Rooted in jazz, the first event took place in 1992 over three days. Since then, the programme has naturally evolved beyond one main genre, hosting a wide variety of musical acts, from the likes of pop and rock to classical and indie, alongside the ever-present jazz masters.

As the festival’s repertoire has grown, so too has its reputation and global reach, with ever more popular international acts performing each year.
