Jamie Cullum taking full advantage of his gorgeous piano.

I'm love with a man whose name starts with J. Jamie Cullum that is. That man is serious hot stuff!! Michael Buble may melt the hearts of ladies, but Jamie Cullum floats my boat, knocks my socks off, whatever you name it, he does it. His act was mind-blowing, completely stunning, hair-raising, heart-stunning...AWESOME!! His performance was soooo energetic, especially for such mellow songs. Jumping off pianos, smashing the keys with his lil bum, hopping about the stage. He has such a fantastic voice and fabulous stage persona, it was truly captivating. Kudos to his band too, for if anything they helped create better music for an already good musician.

We had been waiting a few ours before, chilling around the area listening to other bands we hadn't quite heard of before. Josh Pyke, The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Crown and Ash Grunwald were the few who were pretty good at rocking things up at the start.

From L to R: My lovelies, the Harbour Stage, Claire and I.





















Here's another man who can have my babies. Sizzling hot! His performance was boring, but that's the way Pete Murray is. He's not much of an entertainer, just a simple singer. We love our locals either way. If you haven't heard his songs, shame on you! He's fantastic! It was so cool that we could be right near the stage when he came on, the girls were serious fanatics, singing off-tune to his fab tunes. Still enjoyable though. Got a few videos of him singing, can't stop watching them!
















Damian Marley, the legendary Bob Marley's son exceeded all our expectations. I thought he was gonna be more reggae style, but shit was he great! Belting out songs with extreme lyrical meaning, that man has my support. Promoting peace and love...that man creates a name of his own despite having the Marley blood. He isn't that big as yet, but I would definitely pay to watch him at his own concert. The Jamaican accent is extremely song, but seriously sexy.
















Last but not least, is Bernard Fanning from Powderfinger. That man has a voice that calls out to the masses. His cd rocks, but his live performance is 10 times better. The stage was lit with boho style lamps, lights changing every now and then. It was perfect. However i have to state, I do not want his babies and I do not think he's hot, not with the frazzled hair & beard look. Doesn't affect him as a singer though. Was dead tired by the time he came on, but his melodious voice helped us persist.

Blues & Roots 2006 was awesome, I would go again next year, better prepared for the heat. A few fights broke out here and there, one almost with us and these idiotic kids. Its easier to enjoy sober, had 2 drinks and that was it for me. The fest is enough to keep me happy for a long time!!
