💥 SUMMER PLAY – LYNNE JACKAMAN – CAREER DEFINING MOMENTS!
As part of our Summer Play Series we asked Lynne Jackaman to tell us about a career defining moment!
“There are definitely those ‘pinch me’ moments, those dream venues you fantasise about as a kid. Playing the London Roundhouse and the Royal Albert Hall was surreal, especially as they’re on home turf. But some of the most defining shows for me have been in smaller, more intimate spaces where you can truly feel the energy from the crowd.
My seven-month residency at the 100 Club in London was a big one for me. That run really allowed me to grow – both with my band and the audience. Another standout was performing at the legendary Rockpalast in Bonn, Germany. Knowing so many of my heroes had graced that stage before me was humbling.
The most nerve-wracking, though? That would be playing unplugged – just voice and guitar – at the London Palladium. When it’s stripped back, there’s nowhere to hide. But those are the moments you grow the most as a performer.
As mad as life can be, especially when you’re following a creative path, I always remember that there is beauty in the chaos. Magical moments really do happen! I can remember recording my album One Shot at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and watching legendary players who had performed on classic albums I love play on my songs. It was a surreal feeling!”
