Ex-British Army Captain, James Hillier Blount now known around the world as James Blunt, has announced that we will be touring South Africa in May.
We will be playing three converts, one in each of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.

While some may deride is folky-pop sound he sold over 11 million copies of his first album 'Back to Bedlam' and well of 2.5 million of his follow-up 'All the Lost Souls', so there will be no shortage of takers for the R250+ tickets on offer from Computicket.

Oh, and parents memorise the dates and keep your daughters under lock and key. (Explanation here)

Some interesting James Blunt trivia (source - Wikipedia) :
In 2006, the name James Blunt was entered into the Dictionary of Cockney rhyming slang (a 'right James Blunt') in reference to the word c*nt. Blunt is said to have responded, "John F. Kennedy got an airport named after him - I got my favourite part of the female anatomy"
