Jamie T brings out The Maccabees’ Hugo White at Finsbury Park gig

Jamie T brought out The Maccabees‘ former guitarist Hugo White during his huge show at London’s Finsbury Park last night (June 30).

White came out to perform ‘Sticks ‘N’ Stones’ with the singer, as he previously did at last year’s Glastonbury. White produced Jamie’s T recent album ‘The Theory of Whatever’, which came out last year.

Jamie T dedicated the song to his long-time friend Joe Bispham, describing the night as a “family affair”.

Earlier in the night, he described the show, performed to a crowd of 45,000 people, as “the biggest moment of my life”.

He also thanked his band, who had been with him for “many years” and got the crowd to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to his drummer Alex.
