Classic Pop Gig Review – London Palladium – Best Live Show
Ooh, very nice for Classic Pop to give them “best live show” in their July issue. It was one I was at, and it was a belter! But…lol…I do love that Jim is getting a reputation for his “dad dancing”. Quite a contrast from the awkward boy who wouldn’t dance at parties as a teen….

Jittery Jim
He mentioned very recently about suffering nerves…which is odd because in interviews I’ve seen from the time he says he’s NOT nervous onstage…maybe it was only ever beforehand? Or an act of denial, defiance and bravado to say such things in those interviews? Maybe just…the build up to going out onstage got the better of…
