Pete Mitchell

14th March 2020 | Jim

So sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Pete Mitchell.

Pete has been a huge supporter of James through thick and thin.

A man prepared to put his love of music above all else and maintain his integrity in a business often lacking.

My best wishes to his family, and a massive thank-you to the man himself.

Many Faces, everybody belongs here…

5th December 2018 | wearejames

There’s only love that’s strong enough
To rescue us from self-destruct
You don’t think so, but we’re all the same
That’s just how it is

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

My brother’s mad at me, our room’s a tomb of dead canaries
I’m right, why can’t you see right to the bitter end
My God, what’s-his-name says your God is just calamari
My God’s new to this game, you don’t know who to blame
You don’t think so, you’ve got skin in the game
That’s just how it is

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race Many faces
Everybody belongs here
There’s only…

‘Better Than That’ Tour

1st June 2018 | Jim

Hi folks, just a few words of thanks for your support on the recently ended May tour.

We didn’t make it easy for you, playing a bunch of songs from the new album that isn’t out yet.

As usual you did us proud with your commitment and enthusiasm.

It’s always a little daunting taking new material on the road but your concentration and positivity is always so impressive.

Thanks to the old guard for trekking around to lesser known corners of the UK, and if it was your first James gig hopefully it won’t be your last.

I hope you enjoyed support ‘Lanterns On The Lake’. We’ve been trying to get them to play with us for a while and it hasn’t worked out. So glad it did this time.

I’d like to officially welcome on board Deborah Knox-Hewson. Thrown in at the deep end with little rehearsal, she’s stood up well to the wonderful chaos that is the world of James.

Also a big thank you to all our crew and everyone involved with putting on a James gig.

There is so much more to it than just us eight turning up and playing.

Jim
