The guy was incredible! There were times where he sang without the mic - and his voice carried through all the way to the back! His energy was clear on stage - jumping on the piano, sitting with the crowd and using his stomach for percussion!! The band behind this fantastic performer were all incredible - all on stage certainly deserved the standing Ovation they recieved! Thank-you for a great night Jamie, I'm certianly going to make the effort to see you live again soon!!

What a fantastic performance! I was completely blown away by the talent, energy, musicality and exuberance of Jamie, who delivered 100%+. One of the many brilliant things was his interaction with the audience - where many performers seem to want to keep a safe distance from their fans (understandably in some cases!) Jamie seemed to positively embrace his, with one of the highlights being him coming in to the audience to perform 'Frontin''. For fans, this show is all they could ever dream of and for anybody not wholly converted, they will definitely be after this!

What a performance from Jamie and the band. As a first time Cullum viewer, myself and my wife didn't quite know what to expect. What we recieved was an energetic and vibrant performance, that appealed to such a wide range of people. Four rows from the front, in a reasonably compact venue, we were treated to Jamie and Dr Bass! performing in the aisle right next to us. It's not just the fact that he is incredibly talented himself, but the band are superb musicians in their own right. This talent, combined with their extreme delight in performing and engaging with their audience made for an exceptional night, and two brand new fans. Thanks guys, what a cracker!

Well what can I say apart from....... BLOODY FANTASTIC!! A great night was had by all (even my husband who was not a great fan but has now changed his opinion and wants all JC's albums in his car). JC has triumphed again.... The new stuff sounds great live, the visuals are fab and the saxaphone was amazin'. The audience loved the fact that he came among them and did something a little different! I say again BLOODY FANTASTIC. x

From start to finish, Jamie and co were on top form. They played a great mix of songs from the three albums - but the highlight was definitely when Jamie and Geoff came into the audience (right by my seat!) and played a very funky cover of "Frontin'". If you haven't seen Jamie do a live gig yet, you're missing out - it's such a fantastic night out and worth every penny.
