Jimi is now out on tour across the UK & Ireland. Here is the setlist for the first show in Sheffield thanks to nikkijaydee at Doves forum.

Lots going on – Jimi just announced he will be supporting Elbow at their second Eden Project show in July. Jimi heads out on his first full headline tour next month. Several shows (Manchester, Glasgow last I heard) are sold out so don’t hang about. For the very latest Jimi news keep yer eye on Jimi’s website.

Last weekend Jimi played live for Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2, where he performed a lovely version of Bill Callahan’s Mother of the World. Go give it a listen right here.

As always, I get asked about the where abouts of Andy & Jez, nothing to report but I believe we should hear something in the near future!

A rather captivating video done by Doves forum’s very own big boy Teps!

Gigwise has some fab photos from the Elbow gig in Manchester the other night, check them out here.

Jimi kicked off his tour with Elbow last night. Feedback on twitter seems overwhelming positive! Here’s one media review early doors:

His set was all his own stuff and he didn’t disappoint. There were no crowd pleasing Doves songs but he went down well. People knew his set shouting out for the songs like Didsbury Girl- “have you been reading my diary?” Doves were always three equal parts; now this is his band. He was in the spotlight, and seemed a bit nervous but he needn’t have worried. One mention that he had written Panic Tree with Mr Garvey and he was on a winner.

For me the set seemed short but after all he was the support, and as he left he assured us we would have a magical time with Elbow.  So was it? Magical I mean.  –Ian Gelling
