Support acts announced for Tom Jones’ Audley End concert
Heritage Live has announced that Storry, Tamzene, and Germein will perform as support to Tom Jones at English Heritage’s Audley End House & Gardens in Saffron Walden, Essex, on Sunday, August 6.
Canadian singer-songwriter and visual artist Storry is a two-time Juno-nominated artist and opera trainee. Her debut album Chapter III: The Come Up, was nominated for a Juno award for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year, alongside the likes of Celine Dion and Alanis Morrisette.
Also taking to the stage will be Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tamzene. Her unique mix of her Jamaican and Irish heritage have encouraged a style that blends her soul, folk and jazz influences together.
Tamzene’s debut EP Details takes on topics from family, love and long-distance relationships to questions about race and identity in a social media age.
Kicking things off will be Australian pop collective Germein. The group consists of three siblings, Georgia (lead vocals/guitar), Ella (bass/cello) and Clara Germein (percussion/back vocals).
Having toured Europe, Australia, New Zealand and China, the Germein sisters have won Most Popular Pop Artists in the South Australian Music Awards, twice.
Singing legend Tom Jones will return to headline the event after demand in 2022 could have seen the concert sold out several times over.
Heritage Live organiser Giles Cooper said: “Last year’s show by Tom Jones at Audley End was so special for everyone in attendance. To be able to have him perform once again as part of our concert series for 2023 is truly wonderful.
“Audley is such a spectacular setting for live music, and 2023 is shaping up to be the best year of shows there yet.”
Along with sustaining his popularity as a live performer and recording artist for more than six decades, Tom Jones continues to garner critical acclaim, including with the release of his most recent album, Surrounded By Time.
The album made him the oldest male to claim a number one spot on the UK Official Album Chart with an album of new material, overtaking Bob Dylan.
