Jamie Lawson is confirmed to support Ed Sheeran on his Irish Tour

Jamie Lawson is confirmed to support Ed Sheeran on his Irish Tour

Ed Sheeran today announced Jamie Lawson as opening support on his Irish Tour 2018 which takes place this May. 

Ivor Novello Award winning musician Jamie Lawson released his new album ‘Happy Accidents’, in September via Gingerbread Man Records, which includes the track ‘Can’t See Straight’, written with Ed Sheeran and Johnny McDaid.

Written and recorded throughout the tail end of 2016, and spring of 2017, ‘Happy Accidents’ is the best work of his career thus far. The title is taken from the first communications between Lawson and his now wife, when she wandered, by chance, in to his show at The Bedford (incidentally, the same venue where Lawson met Ed Sheeran for the first time), “hooray for happy accidents”.

It’s been a whirlwind 24 months for the Plymouth-born musician, being the first signee to Ed Sheeran’s own label Gingerbread Man Records, releasing his #1, self-titled album to much critical acclaim, and joining One Direction as main support on their farewell tour in the autumn of 2015. To round off his incredible success, Jamie was awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Song (Musically and Lyrically) in 2016. He has, to date, had 110 million Spotify streams, over 28 million YouTube views, and has sold over a million copies of his juggernaut, worldwide hit ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’.
