Live Review: Jamie T
Rewind!” hollers Jamie T, minutes after stalking onstage, as the sampled intro to ‘The Man’s Machine’ jams. “This isn’t a gig any more, it’s a stand-up comedy show,” he smirks, instead opting to play a stripped-down (and quite...
Album review: Jamie T - 'Kings And Queens'
When Jamie T surfed the initial wave of hype on his washboard, it just seemed like Virgin had dropped a syringe on Camden and signed up whichever posho troubadour dabbling in ragamuffin chic it stuck in. However, even though his vocal...

Jamie T: The Luminaire, Kilburn, London,...
Jamie T is the cheeky south London boy done good, the tale-spinning suburban troubadour with a glint in his eye and some crumbled pills in his back pocket; the mouthy spokesperson for today’s back-chatting youth who prefer dancing in the streets...
Jamie T: Sheila
Just as his hometown of Wimbledon stands like a concrete buttress between the bustle of London and the sprawl of the home counties, so is 20-year-old Jamie T caught between worlds. His instrument is a stringed and acoustic tool of the storyteller;...
