Tom Jones loved his first T

The 70-year-old Welsh music legend revealed he jumped at the chance to play the festival, saying: "I'd heard about T in the Park for years. Earlier this year, I did Celtic Connections in Glasgow and that was great. I was invited to do this and thought, 'Why not?

"I've loved playing in Scotland since I first came in 1965. Scottish audiences have always been great to me. "There's absolutely no bull**** with the Scots. If they like you, they love you and, if they don't, forget it. So thank God they liked me.

"Christ, I used to play the Apollo in Glasgow. That was rowdy. They were never quiet, very enthusiastic. T In The Park is more of the same, just bigger."

Tom slayed the T audience on Friday night. He performed gospel and blues hits from his 2010 No.1 album Praise And Blame plus classics such as It's Not Unusual, The Green, Green Grass Of Home and his chart-topping cover of Kiss by Prince.
