SIR Tom Jones will headline a stellar line-up of live music at Haydock Park tonight in one of the biggest events at the racecourse since before the pandemic.
Dublin songstress Imelda May and television personality-turned pop star Megan McKenna will provide support to the Welsh singing legend, coming as part of a special, non-raceday Jockey Club Live show.
Fresh off the release of her sixth studio album ’11 Past The Hour’, Imelda May will delight crowds with her emotional, authentic tunes that have earned her a mark of respect from many within the music industry.
With an impressive roll-call of musical pals and collaborators such as Noel Gallagher, Ronnie Wood and Miles Kane, as well as gigging with U2 and singing the Irish national Anthem for a Conor McGregor fight, it’s evident Imelda is a unique and versatile personality that isn’t to be missed.

After being rejected from early auditions in the X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, Megan McKenna committed herself down the avenue of fame and became a reality TV-star after stints on popular shows The Only Way is Essex, Celebrity Big Brother and Ex On the Beach.
With music her prime passion, however, she was able to make this into a career after securing a #1 and #2 single in the iTunes chart from her debut country record ‘Story Of Me’.
Since then, Megan has proven her talents in the live arena, completing two nationwide headline tours plus huge outdoor shows with the likes of Michael Buble, Alanis Morissette and Ronan Keating.
