Tammy the Welsh Singer, star of stage and TV, CDs and tapes, show bookings.

Welsh-born
songstress for Anzac service
By John Cousins

The Omokoroa resident who rode the bandwagon of pop success in Britain during the 1970s will sing God Defend New Zealand, Lest We Forget, It's a Long Way to Tipperary and, an as-yet undecided song when the wreaths are laid. She will be accompanied by a brass band.

Her appearance at the memorial service demonstrates a wide variety of singing styles honed on the English stage. On Saturday night she entertained at the Cascades Gardens, singing nostalgic country songs to a packed house. Demand for tickets was so strong that another concert has been scheduled for April

The petite blonde grew up in a small village near Bangor. At 18 she left for London to make her fortune. She scored a No 2 hit in the British pop charts with the song that shot her to fame on the televised singing contest Opportunity Knocks.

She entertained alongside many of the great names of British show biz, including Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and Morecambe and Wise.

She first visited New Zealand in 1990 while returning to the United Kingdom from Australia. She planned to emigrate to Australia but preferred New Zealand and bought into a quiet Omokoroa cul-de-sac. She became a New Zealand citizen last September.

Tammy Jones' superb singing remains a major part of her popular shows which are well received in New Zealand, now her home. You can contact Tammy by phone, fax, mail or email for bookings or to buy CDs.

Her singing has delighted audiences at many New Zealand venues even during the process of re-settling but with frequent overseas trips to meet prior engagements in the UK, Wales, and also Tamworth, Australia. Examples -1992, the Auckland Royal Easter Show, 1997-Kiwi Country Music Fanfare at Mystery Creek, Anzac Day Ceremony-Tauranga, 1998 Morrinsville Spectacular, The Welsh Society, and many many club visits.

In 2001 Tammy was introduced by Dusty Spittle at Tamworth and went down so well she secured more shows.

An appearance at Grace Bros and more shows at the Noel Simonsen Show at the Arcade followed.

When living in New Zealand at Omokoroa Tammy won many fans with her singing and comedy shows at the Cascade Fountain Gardens, Omokoroa, a favourite tourist venue. The shows appropriately titled for any occasion, The Easy Listening Country Show, Fish and Chips and Knees up Mother Brown Show, and Shamus's Sausage Sizzle, receive repeat bookings and great write ups in the media.
