Jo Whiley at Birmingham Uni

Far too early for most students Jo set up shop in the newly christened 'Young Jo Whiley' bar in the University of Birmingham's Student Uni for her One Live show. In front of a rowdy and happy crowd (especially after the bar opened at 11am) they were joined by Crackout and Natalie Imbruglia for live music and chat.

Crackout were first up. The poor lads were a bit tired having got to Birmingham at 4am (they are currently on tour in the UK) but they played a fine version of their last single specially named 'You Dumb Truck'. If you know the single you'll know what word they normally sing instead of 'Truck', and took a lot of effort for lead singer Steven to sing the clean version - in the end he imagined he was singing it to his grandparents.

There was few games during the show, including a trip to a student house for a special version of Universally Challenged. There was also a 'Birmingham True or False' game which you can have play at the bottom of this page.

However, it was Natalie Imbruglia that everyone was waiting for. See entered the room to wild cheers and wooed the audience with live versions of 'That Day' and 'Torn'.
