JAMES

Rising from indie obscurity to becoming one of Manchester’s best loved bands; JAMES broke into the mainstream thanks to such colossal anthems as “Laid”, “Sit Down” and “She’s A Star” which have pioneered the sound of British guitar music and have played a defining role for 40 years.

Last year saw the release of All the Colours of You; the sixteenth studio album for the world-renowned band. Shooting straight into the Top 10, it was a triumphant return for Tim Booth and his band who look set to continue being a stunning experience for a long time to come.
