Jamie Cullum at Royal Albert Hall

Weeks ago, when Tam was still a lady of leisure, I woke her up on my way to a well-paying, unfulfilling temp job, tossed her the phone and reminded her to buy Jamie Cullum tickets that were on sale that day. The good girl managed to secure us second row seats right in the middle. Score! She then (probably) went back to a well-deserved slumber.
On Monday, we saw Jamie Cullum perform live at the Royal Albert Hall. And does he know how to put on a show. Playing songs from his three albums, jumping from instrument to instrument (and also jumping from the top of his piano), throwing his piano stool at the piano (a la Ben Folds), and coming down into the crowd to sing, it was a fantastic show, and he was on fire.
We even managed to score a Set List!
