Here comes the third and final part of my series of posts about 10 days of intensive gig attendance I undertook at the end of last month. (Part 1 here and part 2 here). My friend Sarah and I went to see Jason Mraz at The Junction in Cambridge. OK, so the title is a bit misleading – Jason’s music is not exactly funk. But there’s definitely elements of funk, and I find Jason Mraz hard to categorise.

Last night I went to the legendary Royal Albert Hall, and had my mind blown away.
Months ago, one of my many good friends named Sarah sent me a message asking if I’d like to go to a John Mayer gig with her. This was a little bit like asking if the Pope is Catholic. Read the rest of this entry »
