Having served six years in the army, reaching the rank of captain and embarking on a tour of duty during the Kosovo conflict, James Blunt turned away from his military career in order to pursue his first love, music. A decision which would lead to tremendous success, selling over 20 million albums and 17 million singles worldwide.
His debut album, "Back to Bedlam" (2004) brought Blunt's music into worldwide acclaim, selling over 11 million copies and topping the UK Album charts and reaching the number two spot in the US. It was the third single from the album that proved to be Blunt's breakout hit, with "You're Beautiful" spending six weeks at number one in the UK. Following this success, the album rose to number one in the UK Albums Chart, as well as topping the charts in 16 territories worldwide, eventually becoming the best selling album of the 2000s in the UK.
His brand of pop-folk has found similarities with Damien Rice and David Gray, yet perhaps with greater, more accessible pop sensibilities prevalent in his songs. Following "Back to Bedlam," Blunt has released three further albums, with his second, "All the Lost Souls" (2007) topping the charts in over 20 countries and his latest two, "Some Kind of Trouble" (2010) and "Moon Landing" (2013) receiving positive critical acclaim. During his career he has received a host of accolades, including five Grammy Award nominations, two Ivor Novello Awards, as well as 'Best New Act' at the Q and MTV music awards.
Blunt has been heavily involved in charitable activity throughout his career, raising funds for the MSF (Doctors Across Borders) as well as being the patron for UK charity Help For Heroes.

Blunt by name, not so Blunt by nature.
James Blunt made the entire crowd shed a tear at his recent gig in Bath at The Forum. The singer/songwriter has been on the scene for over 10 years, yet still continues to wow all of whom spectate at his shows. Performing tracks from his recent album 'Moon Landing', as well as old classics which we all know and love, such as 'Wiseman', 'Goodbye My Lover' and 'You're Beautiful', Blunt reached out and engaged with the squadron which packed The Forum to see the former Army Captain.
Blunt has withstood plenty of criticism throughout the duration of his career, but when witnessing the pure beauty of his live performances, the soulful guitaring and singing, where each lyric has a meaning to Blunt, it's hard to imagine why. Albeit a small date within Blunt's career, after the performance he put in, you felt as if Bath was the biggest moment of his career yet. James Blunt is that kind of artist, an artist who appreciates where he is and an artist who appreciates all those who come out to see him, a real performer and a real person.

I have loved james blunt for a decade and have waited soing for him to come to Ireland and he finally did! And all my waiting was awarded, not even a three hour journey jn both sides of the concerts put a dampner on the night! It was amazing, it was like listening to the cd he played at least 23 songs which is amazing and each one was pitch perfect. He was hilarious and I can't wait to go to the next one. I hope he comes back to Ireland, I waited 8 months between purchase of my ticket and the concert and even though I am sad it's over I'm so glad it happened and I was part of it. Best part for me has to be when he ran through thre crowd - only a few metres from me. He was so energetic and enthusiastic even though he has been on tour for the best part of a year. Even after two hours of co start singing he still sounded amazing !! I can't rate my experience hug enough. I hope all my future concerts will be as amazing as this one was ????

An amazing performance with so much energy. Far far better than we even hoped. The only criticism was that the onscreen projection audio and video were out of synch, which was really irritating. We were sitting near the techies and I passed the info to the security guys who were literally only 3m from the sound desk but they didn’t bother passing the message on. Shame as I had explained that I’m a videographer so wasn’t just complaining to be a nuisance. I really hope they don’t make the same mistake throughout the tour!

I didn't know what to expect. 11,000 fans at Manchester Victoria and he didn't disappoint. His voice is so unique, the songs catchy and at times emotional. It felt like I knew all the songs even though I can guess I had only listened to about 5. Not once was I disappointed. He engaged the audience as though we were all friends. The band were tight and I liked the 3 floating screens. Well worth £25 of anyone's money and will be back next time he tours

It was my sixth time seeing James Blunt. I travel all over to see him.He was outstanding as usual. After the show he took the time to sign autographs and take pictures with his fans. Even though the line was over a hour long he made sure everyone got to meet with him.
I wish they would have him preform again in Mn for a full concert next time. He continues to be the BEST❤️

It was my first time to see James live. He is very amiable and humorous. His voice sounds really good and has that power and emotion to penetrate you. It was an amazing night! I think the best song of that night is So Long, Jimmy.

Unbelievable! Best show I've ever been to! He has such an amazing voice and is so natural with it. He makes the show inclusive for the audience and his funny stories really tie the experience together.
