Fan Fare
Here’s where you’ll find TJ photos and stories that don’t fit into any other categories. It is, as its name says, just for fans — and, hopefully, for fun.
Martine in France
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005I saw Tom only seven times in 37 years of deep love for him.
We often saw and heard him from 2000 to 2002 thanks to Sex Bomb and now he’s gone away once again. Believe me, it’s real torture!
Thanks to people like you, we can have news from your sites.
So at the moment there’s only one thing I can tell, its about the amazing kindness of people from Pontypridd.
On the 28th of May, when Tom did his concert for his 65 th birthday, as I was unable to go to Wales, I called the Welsh BBC to ask if the concert would be recorded on DVD and they told me that nothing was planned but that there would be a one hour TV program 4 days later.
I said to myself, “You’ve got to find someone to record the program for you.”
So I called the Tourism office who very kindly told me that they would do their best to please me. And they did!
They called me back twice to fix a few details and a week later and, not only did they send me the video, but also two post-cards of Pontypridd and the newspaper showing the big moments of the concert.
I thanked them with a bottle of a very good vintage wine and told them that apparently Pontypridd sheltered only wonderful people.
