Tom Jones, Wolf Alice, Pa Salieu & Mahalia

Jools welcomes global superstar, The Voice judge and legendary singer Sir Tom Jones into the studio to discuss his musical journey, loves and influences, as illustrated by classic clips from the show. Together, they perform a track from Sir Tom's forthcoming forty-first studio album, Surrounded by Time, which reimagines a diverse set of songs of personal importance to the artist throughout his illustrious career.

Continuing the theme of unique performances in interesting locations, there is a performance from the restored Alexandra Palace Theatre in north London by Mercury prize-winning, genre-bending rockers Wolf Alice. The four-piece won the prize back in 2018 for their second album, Visions of a Life, and have been recently teasing their return with cryptic messages on their social media.

Also on the show and making his UK TV debut is the winner of the BBC Sound of 2021, British-Gambian rising star Pa Salieu, arguably the UK's hottest new rapper. Born in Slough, he grew up in the Gambia, and upon his return at the age of eight moved to Coventry. The city gave its name to his first mixtape, Send Them to Coventry, which was released in November and considers his Gambian heritage (and love of Gambian folk music), life in the Hillfields suburb, where he spent his formative years, and the trauma that he has encountered. It is just over a year since he released his breakthrough single Frontline. Pa Salieu is joined by Brit and Grammy-nominated singer Mahalia to perform their radio smash Energy.
