轻灵浅吟低唱，宛若入耳即化。游走在传统与现代，融入丝绸柔滑唱腔，配上新锐电子及Dubstep乐，Jamie Woon一跃成为节奏蓝调和灵魂乐的不二代表。

英国R&B兼灵魂乐创作才子，Jamie Woon，已为广大中国乐迷熟知。刚于去年办完北京个唱，今年一月，他又随从英国文化协会的活动，造访古城西安，度过了一个月的传统春节，并从此与中国结下了不解之缘。

Jamie Woon一出道就风光无限。他曾拿下乐界闻名的“BBC2011年度新声”，并接受过灵魂女掌门艾米•怀恩豪斯 Amy Winehouse的邀请担任嘉宾。他的首张专辑《Mirrorwriting》更由好友兼知名Dubstep制作人Burial为其亲力操刀，以丝绒般的嗓音，打造缓缓冻结的旑旎气息，配以流淌的电流与Dubstep节拍，仿佛能让感官融化，一时蜚声乐坛。

今秋，Jamie Woon将与国内乐迷再续前缘，踏上“UK 闹！系列巡演”的璀璨北部之旅。除了北京和上海，他还将造访 哈尔滨、大连、沈阳三城，于现场大施才华，与歌迷直接对话。想领教音乐才子的非凡功力，亲见他动人才气和编曲魔力，亲闻他指尖与唇边的音符？即刻加入演唱会，聆听来自仙境的心灵之韵。

北爱尔兰后摇大军And So I Watch You From Afar将紧随其后，挥师云南、成都和重庆，为现场乐迷展现令人震撼的舞台爆发力。

金秋十月，来自苏格兰极具淡雅恬静气质的The Fence Collective，将从北京启程，穿越西安、乌鲁木齐、喀什，最终抵达

上海，一路畅弹优雅旋律。

最后，曾获BBC年度新声大奖的音乐才子，英国当红蓝调/灵魂乐歌手Jamie Woon将登场献演，进驻哈尔滨、沈阳、大连等四座城市，用他的灵动嗓音和过人才华一扫北国寒意，为观众带来无可抵挡的音乐热情。

Introduction

Jamie Woon is a talented musician who carves his blues 'n' garage infused future-pop songs into your brain so you never forget them. The guitar-wielding singer/songwriter and producer creates music that gets people talking. Chinese audiences will already be familiar with Woon; he’s visited before, and has even spent Chinese New Year in the country.

Music is in Woon’s blood. His mother is Scottish folk legend Mae McKenna, who sang session vocals for a massive list of stars including Björk, Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue. However, Jamie Woon’s sound is not easy to categorise. He cites influences as varied as nu-disco king Todd Terje, James Blake, Mount Kimbie, and JJ Cale. His songs have been remixed by Burial, and he has been described as “a twentysomething Robert Johnson, who sold his soul to dubstep instead of the Devil” (BBC Music, natch).

Released in 2011, Woon’s full-length debut Mirrorwriting both captures and expands on the UK-bass-bedroom-pop-crooner zeitgeist that has taken the international music world by storm in the past two years. Occupying an exquisitely uncanny valley between “Katy B and James B, pop theatricality and singer-songwriter calm, club culture and bedroom indie, old-school soul and modern electronic R&B” (Pitchfork), Woon manages to keep all the plates spinning in the air on the strength of his voice – classically trained, from the same school that gave us Amy Winehouse, powerful yet cannily restrained on almost every track of Mirrorwriting.

Under the banner of the UK Now Concert Series, Jamie Woon is touring the forbidding northern capitals of China: Beijing, Harbin, Shenyang and Dalian. On the cusp of winter, we bring Jamie’s warm, soulful voice and glittering icicle beats to the cities blanketed by the first snowfall, ready for a little musical warmth on the cold nights.

About Brit Band Concert Series

As part of an ongoing partnership with Split Works, this is one of four individual tours to China this summer and autumn. Hailing from each of the United Kingdom's four countries, each band embarks on a customised journey across China, taking in the local sounds and visions of the Middle Kingdom along the way. They will fully immerse themselves in the local culture and incorporate the elements they encounter on their journey into each musical performance.

Kicking off the tour are Gallops from Wales, with their particular brand of electrified, math-rock. In the Northern Ireland corner is post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar (ASIWYFA), batting for England is electronic bluesman Jamie Woon and flying the flag for Scotland is the Fence Collective with their lilting melodies.
