Jamie Webster has shared an exciting message to Liverpool as he has “big news” to share. The 32-year-old singer from Norris Green rose to prominence on the city’s pub circuit. He became somewhat of Liverpool FC’s unofficial musician after a video of him performing “Allez Allez Allez” went viral back in 2018.
From there, Jamie has had phenomenal success, with sell-out performances at Sefton Park, Liverpool Waterfront, and the M&S Bank Arena, as well as four albums.
On Friday night, he shared a teaser video with actor James Nelson-Joyce, best known for his role as Michael Kavanagh on the BBC series This City Is Ours.
It’s been a busy year for James since proving his leading man credentials in the BBC programme. He’ll be back on screens on Sunday night for a highly-anticipated series two.
However, he’s made time in his busy schedule to create a teaser video with Jamie and fans have gone wild.
It isn’t the first time the two Liverpool lads have collaborated. James starred in the official music video for Jamie’s single “Across the River”, which was filmed across iconic Liverpool locations including Blackstock Market and the Pier Head.

In a post on Instagram, the musician wrote a message directly to Liverpool. He said: “Liverpool…I’ve been travelling places that I don’t belong.”
He added: “Big news coming Monday [eyes emoji]. Sign up now to be the first to know – link in bio.”
In the video James can be heard speaking to the camera and recalling the lyrics from Jamie’s song “This Place”, which is a tribute to his home city.
He said: “When I think about the birds and George’s Hall, and when they tried to knock us down, but we stood up tall. This city will forever be my saving grace. So no matter where I am, I’ll raise a glass to this place.”

A second replied and said: “He did Pier Head a couple of years back, was boss.” A third said: “Sefton Park” with eyes emojis and a fourth wrote: “GO ON THEN.”

Jamie released his fourth album last month, “Running Round The Sun” and spoke to the ECHO ahead of its September release.
He told the ECHO’s Hannah Rees: “I can’t quite believe that it’s my fourth album already. Time passes you by when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? It’s been nearly two years since I’ve done my own proper tour with the band, under all the lights and everything else. Sometimes I feel like when you take a bit of time out, you feel like you’ve sort of fallen behind a little bit.
“So I’m really looking forward to getting out now and putting my foot on the gas and, you know, knocking down a few more walls and breaking through a few more ceilings, hopefully.”
