It was just an ordinary media/social event (albeit very a very glamorous one, my favourite event to date actually) and all of a sudden James Blunt and his entire band rolls in. The drummer, Karl Brazil, struck up a convo by telling me I looked like some chick from British girl group, Girls Aloud. I wonder which one he meant...
Anyway ever since then we've stayed in touch and caught up whenever they're touring in Oz. So I've been to many a James Blunt concert and I can tell you now, their Some Kind Of Trouble tour is definitely the best yet. It may also have had something to do with being held at the State Theatre because that place is jaw-droppingly beautiful.
James has the most insane voice and it's utterly brilliant live. He covers all of the songs you've loved over the years including You're Beautiful, 1973, Wisemen, Goodbye My Lover (remember the film clip starring Mischa Barton in her "hot" days, yeah well the whole of the State Theatre was singing along) and more recently his impossible-to-be-sad-when-you-listen-to-this tune, Stay The Night. Plus there are some cracking new ones too. They're in Melbourne next so if you're down that way, grab a ticket if they're not already sold out.
That's a great story
