A Strange Little Story From A UK Tabloid: Tom Jones, Chicane’s Nick Bracegirdle And A Barroom Brawl. Really?
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Please, don’t forget to answer our question below about music.
A UK TJ fan and friend of TJI sent the story below. It appeared in a British tabloid today. Take it for what it’s worth, as we’re really not sure it’s true. Oh, we’ve no doubt that Sir Tom’s mere presence (OK, his presence is never “mere”) could break up a fight. But why would he be celebrating a Greatest Hits album that was released in 2006? Huh? Something’s screwy and we suspect it’s the UK tabloid. (The photo is of Tom and Nick Bracegirdle.)
“WRINKLY Welsh Crooner TOM JONES piled in to break up a fight the other day when he was out in Soho celebrating his Greatest Hits album.
“Five yobs who had set on NICK BRACEGIRDLE from the dance act CHICANE legged it when they saw the great man, who’s 68, approaching.
“The band, whose single Bruised Water is out tomorrow, carried on drinking afterwards.”

I don’t know what to make of this I know Tom use to fight when he was in Cardiff,but surly, as he is now far more muture and being an international star he’d think twice about doing such a thing.

well tom has a reputation as a hard man ,who can take care of himself .maybe he thought his presence would be enough to break it up .and it did .
