James Blunt

01.07.2005

Live at Auditorium Stravinski

A newcomer to the British pop scene, James Blunt hit the jackpot with his first album Back To Bedlam. It should be said that his past career wasn't exactly boring. He started off doing sociological studies before going to Kosovo with a gun in hand. Some time later, he exchanged it for a guitar and an airplane ticket for Los Angeles. There he recorded an album of originally thought-up songs about lost loves and heartbreaks. In poignant tones, he denounces was and international governments that supress human rights. With Elton John's unqualified admiration, this young performer won't take long to steal the public's heart when he turns up in Montreux. (FFJM © 2005)
