Jamie Cullum played to a packed Players Theatre on the Friday afternoon of Freshers Week 2009, bringing Jazz Soc’s Freshers events to a dazzling close. The diminuitive piano virtuoso adopted a decidedly “laissez-faire” attitude to the set, even joking at the begining that he was quite hungover. Diminished brain cells, however, clearly had no effect on Cullum’s ability to entertain as he delighted students with a repertoire of jazz standard covers. Afterwards, commentators were heard to remark (with approval) that Cullum was evidently “having a laugh.” At one point Cullum extended an invite for members of the audience to join him on stage. The ensuing impromtu session saw Trinity’s finest jazz enthusiasts jamming with Cullum on stage – one even pulling out a saxaphone. Afterwards Cullum thanked the Jazz Society, saying “Thanks for joining me on the blues. I bet you guys have killer jam sessions.”
