Astounding !! Jamie at his best!! Loved the videos that accompained the performance. His in audience rendition of Frontin was amazing just sorry it wasn't closer to where i was :-(. London(Manchester) Skies was classic and I really can't pick a favourite they were all so so good. The Band was fantastic & sebastian on Drums was out of the world. Jamie showed his talents off with Guitar and he can really handle a drum !! This was my 2nd time seeing jamie & already looking forward to the next time I can see him Live. If you havent been able to see him - MOVE HEAVEN & EARTH to get a ticket to the next gig you can. Fantastic, Awsome, Amazing - Go Jamie !!!!

Oh my WORD! Jamie was fantastic last night: awesome visuals, amazing band, Jamie coming down to the crowd to sing Frontin' with just Geoff and his bass, Jamie on the piano, electric and acoustic guitars, I could have danced all night as the finale.... it could not have been better. I just wish Jamie audiences were a little more responsive i.e stood up every now and again! I take my hat off to Jamie to be able to engage with an audience like that and to keep up his seemingly limitless charisma! I saw Jamie in Essex in the summer and the 2 experiences were so different and I loved both for entirly different reasons!

Wow what a night!!!! i took mu sister and husband and nana may to the gig at the apollo for there birthdays and jamie didn't disapoint us one little bit fantastic performance. He started off with 'That old devil moon' from the twenty something album and was great start to what was to become an evening of chilled music and very relaxed evening. The songs from the new album 'Catching Tales were good aswell i loved the performance of 'Photograph' which Jamie said was a story about when he was clearing out his stuff at his parents. The highlight of the evening had to be 'All At Sea' which has to be my favourite Jamie Cullum songs by all standards and he played it note perfect. He ended the night with 'I could have danced all night' on guitar and was a great ending to a brilliant evening the only fault if anything was that the white whine at the bar was a little expensive at £14 for 4 glasses. After the show there was a camera man filming and he caught my gran on camera for what he said was for jamies upcoming dvd she said that her best bit of the show was 'I could have danced all night' and even though shes nearly 80 im sure she will be dancing all the way to Jamies next gig. Hope she gets on the dvd it'll make her 80th anyway Reviewed by Andy Hofton Macclesfield nr Manchester.
