Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffett, best known as the composer of such classic songs as Margaritaville, A Pirate Looks At Forty, Come Monday and Cheeseburger In Paradise is to return to the UK for the only the second time in 20 years. Parrotheads, as Jimmy’s loyal band of festive fans are known, will get their chance to don a grass skirt, extravagant Hawaiian shirts and flamboyant headwear to party with Jimmy Buffett at The London Palladium.

Jimmy released his famous Son of a Son of a Sailor LP in 1978. The title is a reference to his grandfather who was a huge influence on his life. In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the release, the 2018 tour was called Son of a Son of a Sailor and the celebration continues through 2019.

In 1974 Come Monday, a single from Living and Dying in 3/4 Time become his first Top 30 hit but Jimmy was totally unaware of the success of the single. “I was in Europe working on a film production when I heard Come Monday being played in the London Airport. I figured something was happening, and called home to find out we were on the charts.”
