A hardworking but relatively under-the-radar troubadour since the early 2000s, Jamie Lawson released a string of EPs and two LPs before coming to fame in 2015 as the first signing to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records label. Since then, Lawson has supported the megastar on stadium tours, released three albums (including a UK number 1) and won an Ivor Novello. You’ll agree that there are crappier ways in which to start your forties but, following the whirlwind, it seems that Lawson - who’s recently become a father - is now ready for a somewhat quieter life.
