I’ve just played to 26,000 people at Liverpool Pier Head, but that show could be the biggest sense of community I’ve ever felt. It could be a night where 40,000 people feel like we’re making a change in the world, that we’re on the cusp of something special. That’s what I want. Well, that and for everyone to have a boss time singing and dancing.” Does it feel extra special that you’ve got this far with little support from the mainstream?

If people in the industry did amplify my message, I know the working-class population would get behind me if they heard my songs. More people would believe they could change their circumstances, and that’s important.” Why do you think the industry is slow to support working class success stories like you, The Lottery Winners, The Reytons and Louis Dunford?

Jamie Webster secures No.1 in inaugural Official Folk Albums Chart | Talent". Music Week . Retrieved 23 July 2021. The next song and a personal favourite of mine is Living for Yesterday which is already one of Webster’s singles. It has an acoustic start with a slow tempo which takes a complete turn when an unsuspecting tempo change hits the listener taking away a sense of predictability that might be expected from this genre of music. With a chorus that is almost certainly going to be heard ringing around stadiums in the future, this catchy single ends perfectly by returning to the acoustic melodies heard at the beginning. Jamie Webster's crazy rise from electrician to working class hero". Liverpool Echo. 7 June 2020 . Retrieved 23 July 2021. While we all may be inside hiding from the heat, Jamie Webster’s new album We Get By is sure to immediately transport you to a festival field that 2020 has harshly ripped from beneath our feet… After this long in power, how could anyone say the Tories are the answer? Literally any government that isn’t this one has to be the lesser of two evils. I’m not saying Keir Starmer is definitely the answer, but maybe we need to go with him to get Labour in. They could sort out the rest once they’re in.

Jamie Webster is a name that has become synonymous with the terraces of Anfield with his piercing anthems blasted through the streets of Liverpool on Matchday and his rendition of ‘Allez-Allez-Allez’ now a Reds phenomenon.

But following this in the album is the other song battling for my top spot which is This Place. This song is filled with nostalgia and appreciation for your home town. It is a tribute to your place of origin no matter the listener. It has similar origins to Diamonds in the Mud by Gerry Cinnamon but without the specifics towards the certain place. Webster describes the city as his heart and it reminds the listener of the impact your home town can have on a person. You mentioned ‘Lovers In The Supermarket’. Did anyone in particular inspire the old lovers you sing about in that song?

I’m not going to comment on the antisemitism claims around Jeremy Corbyn. What’s definite is how he got so many young people onside. For the first time in my generation, a leader was speaking the truth. I’m sure Starmer is a nice guy, but as a Labour leader representing young people having to live through this shitshow of a government, he’s just not taking any fight to the Tories.” a b "we get by | full Official Chart History | Official Charts Company". officialcharts.com .

Down The Road’ is a surefire hit with a guitar pop sheen and ‘Living For Yesterday’ whips up an incisive, truthful dialogue about the tribulations of the labouring class, as Webster exhales chants like: “Spare a thought for the working man, has he got a say?” The first reaction to this 24-year-old singer-songwriter is that Gerry Cinnamon has found his scouse counterpart. Similar to Cinnamon, Webster tells the story of the working class people describing not only the struggles but the glory of the lifestyle that a lot of our nation are living.
