Immediately following the show, it was announced that Taylor Jones and Dane Lloyd, who hail from South Wales, would join sir Tom on his 2017 summer dates.

Now he has further cemented his support for the lads by inviting them to join him on his 2018 summer tour.

Taylor and Dane said: “It is absolutely fantastic to be given this amazing opportunity once again. Last year was an absolute whirlwind going straight from The Voice to preparing to tour with the legend that is Sir Tom Jones.

“Since then we have been out on the road virtually non-stop as we build up support for our music and to now get the chance to support Tom on the Summer House Sounds tour is brilliant. We are very flattered.”
