With a fourth studio album, 'The Pursuit', due for release on 9th November, lovable diminutive beat-boxing jazz pianist Jamie Cullum has been popping-up all over the place. Jamie and the first single taken from his new album, I'm All Over It, have both been all over the radio and television in recent weeks.

As if that wasn't enough, the English graduate is due to marry mega-model and literature royalty Sophie Dahl next year. No doubt Ms Dahl will be looking on as her multi-talented fiancé plays a short tour in May of next year.

The first of the seven dates is at Newcastle's City Hall on 11th May, ending 11 days later at Colston Hall in Bristol. Jamie is expected to play new material alongside jazz classics and some of his eclectic range of covers which have included White Stripe's 'Seven Nation Army' and Kanye West's 'Goldigga' (lyrics possibly adjusted to suit the audience).

Tickets start at £27.50 and go on sale from tomorrow at 9AM.
