HAMPTON COURT PALACE FESTIVAL: Jamie Cullum

Standing at around 5'4" and with a six-album discography of easygoing swing-pop, Jamie Cullum has become known as the 'jazz hobbit' – a nickname that was reinforced when he married the rather taller author and model Sophie Dahl in 2010. Matters of height aside, Cullum is eminently likeable on stage and has branched out musically in recent years to embrace house and trip-hop – there was even a guest vocal spot by Roots Manuva on his 'Momentum' album. You probably won't see Mr. Manuva on stage tonight during Cullum's performance at the Hampton Court Palace Festival, but it'll be an enjoyably jazzy jaunt nonetheless.
