As well as concentrating on writing powerful melodies and lyrics over lockdown, Jamie put together socially distanced concerts in car parks for the elderly confined to nursing homes and for his neighbours in local city apartment blocks. “Lockdown was incredibly difficult for everyone and I felt that music was a universal language that would help lift everyone’s spirits”

 

December 2021 saw Jamie performing in ITV’s ‘Walk The Line’ collecting accolades from head judge Gary Barlow of Take That who said, “Wow Jamie, that was really beautiful.  Your voice is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never heard anything like that before.  Congratulations.  I really loved it”

 

Singer Craig David added, “You sang beautifully.  I feel like it is very unique.  You smashed it”

 

Acclaimed actor, comedian and writer Dawn French was stunned “Wow, Are you some kind of musical shape shifter – somewhere between music and dream and opera and pop?  I didn’t know what was going to come next.  All of it was exquisite”
