Jamie T

The returning indie legend delivered a brilliantly rowdy John Peel Sage headline set for only his second show in five years.

After a buoyant first bellow of the latter’s chorus, T halts proceedings to remove his shirt entirely, encouraging his fans’ cheers as he stands proudly on the stage, arms aloft. Then, he pulls off the 2007 British indie equivalent of Macca’s guest spots, introducing The Maccabees’ guitarist (and producer on his new album) Hugo White to help him rip through two final songs – an incendiary ‘Sticks ’n’ Stones’ and a pogo-worthy version of ‘Carry On The Grudge’’s ‘Zombie’. He turns instead to conversation-quelling bangers like ‘Back In The Game’ – performed alone on an acoustic bass, just like in his early days – and the clattering anthem ‘368’.
