Manchester band James were the last band for me to see at this years Wider Than Pictures series and man as always they didn’t disappoint. Opening with ”Johnny Yen” and ”Waltzing Along” with Tim entering the stage in his large white coat just set the tone for the night and as always coming on to the barrier during the third song to sing face too face with certain members of the crowd to the delight of all but check photos and see how delighted one was!.
Their set contained a nice full eighteen songs with fantastic accompanying visuals.
Support on the night were a band I was very excited to see and that was Liverpool act The Zutons and man these guys were a delight to catch live.
