Jamie Webster

People’s Poet Jamie Webster has built a movement around songcraft that distils struggle, finds hope and the tugs at the ties that bind.

Webster’s motivations and inspirations are unambiguous, singing for the downtrodden, dispossessed and ill-advised with fists-aloft, smile-wide and in demand of communal celebration.

Webster’s story has a cast of thousands, rooted in Liverpool, yet finding the same faces with different accents singing every word back at him. From London to Glasgow, Manchester to Belfast, every moment of Webster’s success is shared. Scoring a UK Official Albums Chart Top Ten and UK Official Folk Chart Number One with his debut album ‘We Get By’, Webster is held up by the enthusiasm of people just like him: those who simply love music and see the cracks in people’s troubles that serve to let the light in.

His 2021 album ‘Moments’ was produced by Manic Street Preachers’ producer Dave Eringa at Rockfield Studios, charting at number 3 in UK Official Chart, Number 2 in the Indie chart and number 2 in the vinyl chart. After a charge of roaring live shows, Jamie played a sold-out hometown show at Liverpool’s M&S Arena in November. 

Fast forward 2 years, the City of Liverpool witnessed Jamie play in front of 26,000 fans on the iconic Pier Head across two summer headline shows. He later released ‘Voice Of The Voiceless’ which was swiftly followed up by ‘Fickle Fran’ and features Jamie’s own working class hero, Billy Bragg. The later coincided with the announcement of his ‘In The Park’ Headline Show in Sefton Park, June 2024.
