The Eighty-Eight launched in October 2013 and the first issue contained essays on silent film soundtracks, the curious history of seafaring, the enduring appeal of the muse (written by Sophie Dahl) and how the icons of jazz made their mark on menswear. Other features include a short story by playwright Duncan Macmillan, a history of Jamie’s love affair with shoes and an interview with producer Nostalgia 77. It also contained an exclusive rollfold transcription of a previously unavailable new song by Jamie Cullum entitled ‘Don’t Wait To Love’, transcribed by bandmember and multi-instrumentalist Tom Richards.
Jamie says, “The magazine isn't about me, but about things I'm interested in. I love journalism and writing, and I know so many writers; Sophie's a writer, my best friend is a playwright, another runs an amazing burger blog and others are interested in short stories. Not many people know that I studied English Literature and Typography, so I also get to indulge my passion for fonts and design.”
At launch the magazine was available for sale at Jamie’s website www.jamiecullum.com, and as merchandise on his worldwide tour. In addition, it is now available at influential locations such as the Design Museum, Tate Modern, Magma Books, Soulshine Café and Found Bath. It is also stocked in coffee shops and bookstores in Germany and Malaysia.
The Eighty-Eight has enjoyed widespread media coverage; Jamie has been interviewed about the magazine on the BBC1 Andrew Marr show, Libby Purves on BBC Radio 4, Simon Mayo on BBC Radio 2, and in The Sunday Times. He was also headline speaker at the Professional Publishers Association (PPA) Conference in 2014.
