Bowler Hats and Jazz Hands = James Blunt

On a Sunday morning when the hazy sun rises and work begins Thursday seem like a year away, but as the fast moving city of Dubai sweeps one through, I surprisingly find it's the weekend.

This Thursday was particularly exciting as a guy who quickly became a U.K heart throb for touching young girls hearts with his chart topping ' Your Beautiful' , landed in Dubai for its annual Jazz Festival.

James Blunt is his name and writing music is his game!

Lucky enough to have seen him play live before at Glasto - I wondered how he would perform in the sand pit of the UAE. The night was somewhat more chilled than the festival that I dream of most nights, how ever the less rowdy event made the talented musicians perfect pitched tones even more electric.

He played a mixture of old and new.. one of my favourite being - ' I'll be your man'.

The night ended with an encore and when the crowd had finally calmed distant cries of ' 1973' could still be heard.

Backstage after the event I managed to chat with the star for a bit and was taken a back by his kindness and time to speak to those around him. What a magical evening !
