There's a video of Jamie Cullum at Cheltenham!

I WAS THERE! SECOND ROW, DEAD CENTRE! Thank god it's not in HD, or you'd be able to see me screaming and crying and jumping up and down with my arms flailing about and generally making an idiot of myself. I can see where I was standing but it's a blur!

It was a wonderful gig, worth waiting over four years for. He sang so many of my favourites, made me jump up and down even though I had a bad knee and had promised myself I wouldn't, then made me cry just minutes later. And, having worried that it wouldn't be the same without Geoff and Seb...well, then Chris came on and I was faced with my now recurring dilemma - 'Do I look at my IDOL at the piano, or the pretty on the double bass?!' I left the gig amazed and elated and genuinely speechless. My hands shook with excitement to the point that the most eloquent text I was able to send read something like 'BLOODY HELL THAT WAS EPIC'.

Afterwards we met him, and he was so incredibly friendly, and then we got back to the hotel and the vending machine accidentally gave us buy-one-get-one-free on hot chocolate and Mini Eggs (BONUS!!) There was giggling and not-being-able-to-walk-straight and grinning to the point where our cheeks hurt and it's a bit hazy now but I think I even jumped up and down on the bed. It was one of those days when everything goes your way.

Good, good times. The best.
