TICKETS for jazz sensation Jamie Cullum's next show sold out in 15 minutes.

The 24-year-old, who grew up in Hullavington, is due to perform a charity concert at the Apartment in Swindon on December 21.

Around 280 £5 tickets for the gig, which is in aid of the BBC's Children in Need appeal, were all snapped up within 15 minutes of going on sale.

Jamie's latest album Twenty-something has gone platinum, having notched up more than 300,000 album sales to retailers, after five weeks.

The musician signed a £1 million deal earlier this year and was hailed as the UK's fastest selling jazz act when his album entered the charts at number five in October.

His next single release, which will be a version of Jimi Hendrix's The Wind Cries Mary, is out next month.

His first UK tour takes place in February.
