Radio 2 Artist of the Year

Winner - Jamie Cullum

Jamie says of his music "I'm trying to find out whether you can get 16 year olds who listen to The Strokes and 20 year olds who listen to house music to think 'Actually, this music is cooler than I thought'". Packed concert halls, a million selling album and a hat full of nominations and awards speaks volumes for his success at taking jazz to both a new and exisiting audience.

Ray Gelato

Ray's powerful combination of hot vocals and roaring tenor have been heard on stages around the world for over 25 years. He's played for the Queen and appeared at the biggest outdoor venues with one of the most energetic shows recreating the sounds of the swing and jive eras.

Clare Teal

Riding high on the success of her fourth album, Clare Teal continues to mix her own songs with standard and pop related material. Performances at Glastonbury, Edinburgh and at jazz festivals throughout the country as well as regular television appearances have quickly secured her place as one of the country's most popular performers whose appeal reaches out to lovers of all types of music.
