Tom Jones as you never heard him before. The Irish Times Interview 1992 Part 1. Jones on his music, sex appeal, Welsh Nationalism, and religious conflict in his marriage
This was the third interview I did with Tom and given that in The Joe Jackson Interview slot in The Irish Times myself and my editor Paddy Woodworth were attempting to redefine pop interviews in the newspaper, this time around Tom and I were free to discuss, yes, his music, of course, and sex appeal but also topics he rarely discussed in public, such as Welsh Nationalism, the fact that he as a Protestant married, Linda, a Catholic, and the pressures this led to, not only becuase she was pregnant at the time. Tom once said I was "dangerous" because he said, "talking to you is like talking to a mate in a pub, and I have to remind myself that you are an interviewer!" I loved talking to the guy.
