Jamie T playing the Manchester O2 Victoria Warehouse on November 17th, 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Jamie T’s London gig will take place on June 30th.
Ahead of his big outdoor concert at Finsbury Park this coming Friday, Jamie T has released a brand new song entitled Hippodrome.
Co-produced by Olly Burden, it follows his return last year with The Theory Of Whatever.
“Prior to that, Treays pilfers a sample from This Mortal Coil’s version of Big Star’s Kanga Roo on the nostalgic (‘I was so young’) 90’s Cars, all thrumming guitar, elegant keys and moody intent,” our review reads.
He’s at it again on British Hell, with London Dungeon by Misfits used as the basis for a tale of post-Brexit patriotism which takes no prisoners. Channeling The Clash’s punk-skank style but with his trademark deprecating wit (which alone sets him apart from the Sam Fenders of today), it has the vigour and vibrancy of old.
“There, however, the high jinks largely end. Either through the music or lyrics, Treays unashamedly goes for the heartstrings. The Terror Of Lambeth Love staggers woozily, as if it’s been on a night out, with a set of (presumably) personal, if slightly nonsensical, lyrics to match.”
