Blunt's sharp show

James Blunt wowed a packed NIA last night with an incredible performance which had people on their feet from start to finish.

When he took to the stage at 8.30pm it was met with a deafening roar, before he got his vocals under way by singing Breathe. Then came some of the classics like You're Beautiful and Wiseman, which had the crowd eating out of his hands.

Halfway through the show he amazed us by getting up off his perch and jumping down to where the crowd were, before walking into an empty space in the middle so a new stand could emerge from the ground with a piano and microphone.

He continued the show from the centre of the arena before going back to the main stage to finish off. Brilliant!
