Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis’ ‘Blues and Swing Special’ on Jazz FM

My husband and I started 2023 listening to the 2-hour “Damian Lewis Blues and Swing Special” on Jazz FM. And after 2 delicious hours of music, I put together a Spotify playlist for the fans who were not able to hear the program because of annoying zone restrictions. And this post has all the songs Damian played in the program but also what he talked about when he talked about the music he loved! So… ENJOY!

Following Damian Lewis on his ‘Mission Creep’ UK Tour – Part II

Damian just dropped a Live EP of his Mission Creep Tour. And his tweet says it all.

Yes, the feels! Especially THE FEELS.

I was very lucky to live it on Damian’s Mission Creep Tour. As I’m having serious Damian Lewis gig withdrawals these days, the live EP gives me my gig fix! And in celebration of the live EP release, I would like to re-visit and re-live Damian’s fabulous UK Tour! You can see Part I here. Here is Part II from Spring 2024.

Currahee! – Here’s The Best Tattoo Story Ever

Damianista’s note: The lovely, crazy, adorable story you will read below comes from our own “Dark Horse” Vicky (well, she loves Soames!) who is one of the first, if not the first, fans that I met online the day Fan Fun with Damian Lewis was born in 2015. I remember that we exchanged a few words about Damian and she told me about how she became a fan of the “Ginger Prince.” Over the years, Vicky has written several posts for Fan Fun, participated in every Fan Fun community project, and become a friend. I know you will LOVE her tattoo story. I am thrilled to have been a little more than an extra in it. ENJOY!

Wanna Grow Old in Paris: A Love Story Between A Woman, A Man, And A City

The only thing that has made me, a true Olympics junkie, feel okay about Paris Olympics coming to a close, has been waking up to this very post! I’m thrilled that Damian is dropping a Live EP of his Mission Creep Tour later this month and I find it utterly smart to drop the first single “Wanna Grow Old in Paris” on the closing day of the Olympics in Paris.

Now, we all know the narrator in the song, the woman who wanted to grow old in Paris. We also know Helen was all of the things Damian talks about in his Instagram post and more. And while she did not have the chance to grow old in Paris, Damian told the audience at his gig at The Tabernacle in London in November 2022 that she managed to do some of the things he sings about in the song.
