Ben Folds UK date - Cheltenham Jazz Festival, 30 April 2017

Just spotted this!  It's with Jamie Cullum - I was never a fan of his "pop" stuff but he's whizz when he's smacking the piano about like his hero.  On sale Wednesday 1 March at 1pm (or now if you're a member of the festival society).

Haven't spotted a thread about this anywhere else, apologies if I missed it.

Jamie Cullum has had to pull out due to ill health, so it's just a Ben Folds solo show. As a result, a number of tickets (good seats) are back on sale. It's this Sunday and Monday's a bank holiday! I was able to transfer from my restricted seats to Row G, front section.

How good was that show tonight?! A strange mix of an audience, which has hopefully attracted some new fans, but Ben's playing was tight as. His voice is also probably the best I've heard in a long time. Can't remember the set list though for toffee! It was raining too, which on the tent made it sound like a warm crackly vinyl. Perfection!

Yep, definitely one of the best solo piano shows I've ever seen him play. Given that the tickets were £38 I was surprised that so many people were evidently there as festival attendees rather than fans, and it seemed to go down brilliantly with fans and non-fans alike. The rendition of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head was lovely too. As far as setlist, I can work it out later but basically there was at least one from every album (if you discount Picture Window and Over The Hedge), which was nice.

Someone's already done it:

Added to our own archive! Thanks y'all. Twitter seemed to love this show. Glad Ben came to visit
