Now, having been together for over forty years, James stormed the 1990s with four top ten hits, with anthems like Sit Down and She's A Star. To date, they've released eighteen studio albums, and in April this year begin their biggest ever arena tour, with ten dates across the UK, finishing with a massive homecoming show at Manchester鈥檚 Co-Op Live. They also recently revealed that the first authorised documentary about the band, Getting Away With It, will be released later this year.
Tim Booth of James says: 鈥淲henever our songs are orchestrated, it deepens the emotional impact. So we are looking forward to another fresh orchestral collaboration in the Piano Room - on my birthday. Expect fireworks and a cake!"
Back for its fifth year, Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees globally-famous, award-winning artists perform three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known numbers, and an unexpected cover version - all accompanied by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra.
A 麻豆社 Audio production for 麻豆社 Radio 2.
