On this day, 23 April 2008, Top British girl group Sugababes played Cardiff International Arena as part of their Change tour in support of their fifth studio album, also titled Change.
The critical reaction to the tour was extremely positive, with reviewers praising their vocals and their first attempt at extravagant costumes.
Despite their popular visit to Wales their admiration for Wales’s most famous artist and meeting with Tom Jones left them less than enamoured.
In the same year, Singer Amelle Berrabah was thrilled to be in the same room as the Welsh warbler at the Q Awards – but was gutted after the Green Green Grass singer snubbed her and the girls. “I’m really disappointed – he’s so rude,” she blasted at the unofficial after party at the Shepherds Tavern pub in London’s posh Mayfair.
She added: “My dad died a few years ago and he was a massive Tom Jones fan so I was really looking forward to meeting him.
“I saw him at the awards and as he walked past I said: ‘Hi’ and gave him a wave.
“He just looked at me like ‘Who are you?’
“He’s just a rude old man.”
