This show may have been nearly 4-months later then originally scheduled, but everyone in attendance to night will probably agree that is was worth the wait. After a short time off stage, Jamie and his band appear back on stage for their encore and to finish the night off with Chaka Demus, and his biggest single to date, the track that made the hole venue go crazy Sticks & Stones. In my opinion Jamie T is an artist who deserves way more love than he really gets for his great blend of genres combined with his fun production and great songwriting. The main part of the set is brought to a close with new track The Dance of the Young Professionals from the Sticks & Stones EP and clearly a fan favourite from his first album Sheila. Chaka Demus is such a catchy as HELL pop track that is just fun to listen to.

One of the great things about seeing Jamie T live is he has the ability to move from a amazing acoustic track into full-pelt tracks like If You Got The Money, Salvador and British Intelligence, managing to keep the crowd fully engaged throughout.Although, mid-way through British Intelligence, Jamie stops the band playing due to forgetting the words, going on to tell the crowd he was trying to remember if he had left the gas on at home, loosing his place in the song. Think with their head argue with a gut Draft did you leave the door open it might encourage customers in I wish the barmaid shut Look like shit down on my luck.

He then goes on to tell the crowd “but I’m better now” before losing the guitar and kicking into classic tracks Pacemaker and So Lonely was a Ballad.įollowing a manic start, Jamie slows the set down with acoustic-style tracks Alicia Quays, Northern Line and crowd pleaser Emily’s Heart. from album: Kings & Queens (2009) A lot of people around here lost the whites of their eyes.

After a frantic start to the set, Jamie takes a breather to apologise for being months late due cancelling the previous tour because of illness. Closely followed by 368, opener from his 2009 hit album Kings & Queens. De langste lijst van Nederland, maar ook die met het minste aanzien. Jamie takes to the stage, whisking the packed out crowd into a frenzy opening with his most recent single The Man’s Machine. This 23-year-old singer-songwriter has built himself a massive fan base over the last two-and-a-bit years since the release of his debut album Panic Prevention. The sold out student’s union was almost bursting when the main act of the night Jamie T took to the stage. Crazy Jon Secada, If You Go Benedictine Monks, Chant Chaka Demus & Pliers. Chester P didn’t receive a bad reaction from the crowd, but even he knew he was just the warm-up act for the night. 14 Joy Lynn White, Wild Love 15 Billy Ray Cyrus, Ain't Your Dog No. With just two acts on the bill tonight opening the show was rapper and freestyler Chester P, his hip-hop beats and free-styling tell stories of growing up on the streets of London, mixed in with a lot of political propaganda, speeches and rants over various sampled tracks. Nevertheless, the night was great fun, the crowd lapping up every chord and the likes of Sticks 'n' Stones and Chaka Demus providing pure indie-pop entertainment.From cancelling two months of touring across the UK and Europe late last year after suffering from a bout of laryngitis, tonight saw the long-awaited return of Jamie T to Northumbria Students Union in Newcastle once more. Instead he opted at times for a seat and acoustic guitar over a leap from the top-speaker or bass drum. Perhaps one disappointment of the evening was that Jamie, whilst vocally on-the-money failed to perform with the energy and vibrancy he had shown at London's Roundhouse for the iTunes festival last summer. The politically charged Spider's Web fantastically balanced the pop-based crowd-pleasers of Sheila and If You Got The Money whilst the live-transformation of K&Q opener 368 showed the versatility of Jamie's latest material. The concoction of catchy sing-a-longs from his famed debut and more matured numbers from Kings & Queens worked well in displaying the progression Jamie has gone through as both a writer and performer. The ever-impressive Pacemakers also kept the night ticking along nicely with creative interludes to bridge the gaps.

Laryngitis well out of the way (so too was Halloween, Christmas and New Year!), Jamie and his house band The Pacemakers were bursting to make the wait worthwhile.Ī well balanced mix of material from his mercury nominated debut and more recent Kings & Queens follow-up kept the set list fresh and exciting. Almost four months after Jamie T was expected to play the UEA's LCR, the singer/songwriter graced the stage to play to a crowd for which the term anticipation now had a brand new meaning.
