What a fantastic show. Had a great night. seen Jamie a few times before and was worried that the NIA would'nt be as intimate. I didnt need to worry about that. The sound, music, performance were all amazing. Loved the part when he came off the stage and invited people to stand around him. Really cannects with the crowd when he does this. Even better I got to meet Jamie at the end of the show and get his autograph. Only downside of the night was getting back to the car park to find my car being locked in. Had to wait till 6am this morning to get it back! Apart from that, what a night to remember.

Wasn't a big fan to be honest before I went to the gig, but left the gig blown away! Had great seats near the stage and the NIA has great acoustics! Jamie walked to the middle of the crowd near the end and sang from there. At the end he invited everyone to come and stand just in front of the stage. I was stood in touching distance from him whilst he sang the last two songs. Verdict: Jamie Cullum is fantastic live!!

By far the best gig I have ever been to, there was so much energy in the band, and the audience was great. Best bit was when Jamie and Geoff came down into the audience and sang a cover of 'Nature Boy' with everyone sat on the floor around them. They then invited everyone to the front for the finale, and everyone was up and dancing by the end. It was incredible, a completely unforgettable experience!

Oh God. The best night of my life Ever. It was like some amazing daydream you imagine when you're bored! We travelled up from Bucks near London to see the show and it was more than worth the journey! As if I wasn't excited enough to know we had second row seats, we arrived to find a smaller venue than we thought. We sat down to see the stage just a few feet away and it began to sink in that Jamie and the band were going to be right in front of us. Jamie and Co may remember me as the over-excited amazed fan in the front with the 'jaw-on-the-floor' throughout! To hear the voices and instruments in person and not from a speaker/headphones makes you further appreciate the talent. I can still remember the moments when Jamie and Geoff looked straight into my eyes but I can see myself going off topic here to talk about my love of Photography! (I think I might have found a new direction in that field!)The 'blends' of 'Trippin' and 'Ordinary People' were fantastic (as was everything) and to hear Jamie come in on electric guitar was just brilliant. I got a high five during one performance and i managed to nab a souvenir (jamie's unused towel+water) but i was still gutted by something. We went staight back to the car and missed Jamie riding around outside the arena on a bike and signing stuff (so i heard). I took everything 'Jamie' I have up with me too! I could go on and on but I may have an even greater chance of not being featured on the site.. No.1 in the top 10 things to do before you die = see these guys!!

WOW! The first time I've seen Jamie live, but it definately won't be the last! Can't believe how long Jamie was on stage (and in the crowd!) for! Fantastic! Polka Rocks!

This was the first time i've seen Jamie, i thought the band played amazingly, the drum solo and Jamie coming off the stage to play made it a nite to remember. We were some of the youngest there, but we had the most amazing time. we enjoyed it so much we're definatly coming again! thanx for a great nite xx

Oh my God! What a great gig! For my 14th birthday my two big sisters took me to see Jamie and had such a great time. Jamie had the crowed going from his first song to the last. And what made it even better was how he invited everybody to the front. I really enjoyed the gig n listening to Jamies talented voice and his songs. Truely the best birthday ever! Just cant wait to see Jamie again! (P.S would you marry my sister, she really likes you) :-)
