The Cambridge Union is to have its first live performance in years, as James Blunt has agreed to sing during his appearance tomorrow. 

Although scheduled as a speaker, the Goodbye My Lover singer will be doing more than just talking at the Union, Blunt is bringing his guitar so he can play a handful of acoustic hits too, in what promises to be an very intimate performance.

President Jonah Surkes said “We are so excited to add this to a varied termcard, and hope to see you singing along”. A bit of karaoke might even be compulsory, with suggestions being that Blunt is going to push for a sing-song. 

James Blunt is just one of a handful of musicians appearing at the Union this term, with Kygo and Loyle Carner (and he of Mysterious Girl fame, Peter Andre) due to visit in coming weeks, but this is likely going to be the only performance, and indeed, the only chance you get (ever) to sing You’re Beautiful in the Union chambers. Maybe that membership fee was money well spent after all
