Jamie Webster's meteoric rise from playing pub gigs in Merseyside to headlining major UK festivals is chronicled. The article highlights his recent successes, including his third album release and Glastonbury performances, while also revisiting his humble beginnings and the challenges he faced early in his career.
Jamie Webster has had another astonishing year. The singer-songwriter released his third album, 10 For The People, in March and performed at festivals across the UK. This included Glastonbury in June , which marked his third successive year performing at Worthy Farm.
Jamie's biggest live show yet took place over the summer in Sefton Park where over 3,000 people watched him perform at In The Park, with a star-studded cast of extras including Ricky Tomlinson, Dave McCabe from the Zutons and Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen. The 30 year-old has also been taking his music across Europe and Australia, where he performed in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth this month.

He also remembered one pub where “some of the lads used to try and fight with me and my mates”. On another occasion, a police raid disrupted the set. This time was also where Jamie got some of his most pointed criticism. He said: “ and I thought she was going to go to the toilet, but before she did she made a beeline right to my face and said ‘you're f***ing s***e’. “By the end of the night, her fella asked if I knew any Pink Floyd so I played ‘Another Brick In The Wall’, ‘Wish You Were Here’. He brought all his mates in, singing and dancing and she was left red faced all night. “I'll never forget that. I've played some of the roughest, readiest, rambunctious nights. It was a proper apprenticeship - my Hamburg years almost.” A few years later Jamie was performing at the Cross Keys and the Slaughter House in the city centr
