Sit Down you lot and listen. There's no Getting Away With It, I'm Going To Say Something that's Born of Frustration out of the lockdown and comes with Nothing But Love....
...but he's only got a new double live album and DVD coming out. Thank me later:
“LIVE In Extraordinary Times”
You asked (okay — pleaded, pestered, perhaps even profaned) and finally we’ve delivered:
A new LIVE double album and DVD! Including a beautiful photo-book set, coloured vinyl, deluxe double CD, signed prints (get in early!), t-shirts, the full works.
“As requested by many lovers of the band — a live DVD and album to capture the spirit of the gigs of the last few years. Hopefully this will help us through the long nights of lockdown — reliving these gatherings of intimacy and passion. Thank you for coming along for the ride in the crazy world of James.” — Tim
In a year feeling anything but ordinary, this special collection reminds us of the power and connection of live music.
Released just in time for St. Nick to get his hands on it for you — 11th December.
Sorry we can't put on one of our traditional winter tours to warm your quarantined cockles but hopefully this is the next best thing!
Released 11 December 2020. Available only from the official James merch stall on TM Stores, via wearejames.com Visit our shop to see all permutations
Saw them at UEA a few years ago, they are fantastic live.

They slipped under my radar a bit. Sit Down was a huge hit when I was at Uni, and that was about as far as it went for a bit. And then about a decade later I listened to a a few albums and couldn't believe what I'd missed out on. There's some excellent stuff in their back catalogue. I imagine live they are very good - he seems like a real performer.

I think they were sick of only being known for Sit Down and refused to play it live for years and years, I think they’ve only pretty recently started performing it again in their sets.

I saw them supporting New Order 1n 1983, supporting The Smiths in 84 and at the Womad festival in 85. They were a cracking live band, and one of my faves at the time. I also have a signed single bought in Parrot Records but just looks like someone scribbled Tim on the label so not really sure about that.

I'm sorry you had to endure the Smiths. I'm sure James made up for it though

Good to see The Smiths at the time but I remember being more up to seeing James again, they were excellent.
After the New Order gig, back in Ipswich bought Hymn from a Village by James and Something Outside by The Wake, the other supporting band that night. The Wake never seemed to get any recognition but a real fine band. Would strongly recommend giving them a listen.
