James Blunt – Live in Conversation in London

With Matt Everitt

Join Logo

One of the best-selling recording artists of the Noughties is here to tell his life story. Much of it will be grossly exaggerated for comic effect. Some of it might actually be true.

One of the few pop stars with a genuine sense of humour and a knack for self-deprecation, James Blunt joins Matt Everitt live in London to share riotous anecdotes from his life to date.

From his checkered Norfolk roots and ‘unconventional’ family upbringing, to his boarding school antics and underestimated military service, to his rise to music superstardom and inimitable tour escapades, James will delve into his (surprisingly) fascinating life to date. What do you do when your mother writes irate emails to the future prime minister defending your honour? What does it take to run a male escort agency? And why exactly should you refrain from crowd-surfing? Find out here, folks…

Whether you’re one of the millions who sent his albums to the top of the charts and made him one of the biggest artists of his generation, or you just want to hear titillating tales from a man whose relationship to the truth is… shall we say, economical… don’t miss this exclusive, one-of-a-kind live event.
