I don't normally bother with reviews etc. but after last nights concert felt the need to write one. If you have the opportunity to see Jamie Cullum live then go for it. He entertains the audience with his never ending verve and his voice is smooth and effortless throughout. High and Dry was the best version that I have heard and I didn't want it to end. I'm still singing it round and round in my head now!!!!!

I was lucky enough to be there last night and ohhhhhhhhh god....!! what a night it was! I have seen Jamie lots of times before, each being fantastic, but last night was such an amazing performance, from all involved! Jamie sounded amazing in the Albert hall, he played for over two hours, for which I was totally mesmerised!! He seemed to be loving it, although he did bash his head on the Microphone during 'wind cries mary' and said he didn't really like the taste of his own blood!! Oohps! The stage show has developed dramatically since this time last year, the visuals and lighting are superb, love the variety, from Acoustic guitar to Rio carnival, from Geoff's solo to Jamie havin it on the electric guitar! really was bloody brilliant!! My ighlights include 'Oh God' with Beate from Beady Belle, this was sooo powerful! (would love the collaboration to be released!), Mind trick (wanted to bop tho!), Nature Boy- this was very special, Jamie and Geoff in the middle of the Albert Hall,was again very moving, seeing Jamie singing up to the skies, with spotlight beaming down. 21st Century Kid, again haven't seen this live before, loved it! Then Jamie's Solo of 'If I only had a Brain' and then 'High and Dry', definitely the most powerful and moving version I have seen him do!! Beautiful! What can I say!! Thank you for the music!!!! Truely Gifted!

My sister and I went last night to see Jamie, and oh gosh *****. It was amazing. The Royal Albert Hall is such an excellent venue for Jamie and his band to show off their amazing talents with the greatest of ease. I cried yet again at All at Sea and was overjoyed with the blend of old and new material, with of course the unmissable jazz jammin' in between. Jamie's on stage presence is immeasurable, and he had my and my sister giggling with his witty comments and music interval breakers. Bring on the next concert, 2 down - plenty more to go. Thank you guys for a unforgettable evening, I smiled the whole way through (even when I was crying!). Lou x

This gig was simply amazing! we were singing along to every tune - a great mix of the old stuff and the new. 'I'm All at See' has to be my favourite song ever but I think that 'Photograph' really stands out in my mind from the gig, it was quite emotional. Jamie is awesome!

I thought the concert for young audiences was great! Although it wasn't exactly my type of music I still found I enjoyed it, as it interacted with the audience well, and the music was a mix of jazz, pop, rock. The Royal Albert Hall was also amazing, a great venue, and Jamie Cullum is a great performer!
