Blunt goes big: singer announces massive shows
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver December 16th, 2005

To say that 2005 has been kind to former soldier-type-man turned 'singer' (come on, he really can't, sing that is) James Blunt is like saying Carling looks and tastes like piss: a whopping understatement. So, we shouldn't be too surprised to learn that Blunt is playing some mega-sized shows next summer, in addition to his February tour of the UK and Ireland (if you want details for that, um, go away).

The 'You're Beautiful' sensation drags his single albums' worth of 'hits' to the following large houses in the summer. Ticket prices are, well, stupid, frankly.

June 2006
30 Leeds Harewood House (£37.50 a ticket)

July 2006
1 Oxford Blenheim Palace (£40.00)
2 Maidstone Leeds Castle (£37.50)

Tickets are available from here, although we advise anyone wanting to book tickets to go here first, and take a good look at track 12.
