The Snuts / Troy Hawke / SurmaMore Information & Reviews
Sounds of the City event that marks the 30th anniversary of James’s legendary Alton Towers gig. The same set was played as at the Alton Towers show, albeit in true James fashion in a different order.
Review: Stuart Ralston @ Even The Stars
“Apparently the band were nervous about tonight’s show. However, they are having just as much fun up there as the audience and they delivered a remarkable show. There’s an incredible amount of energy on stage and perhaps it is worth the band revisiting this approach again. Bath Moles Club ‘88 anyone?”

Review: Del Pike @ Louder Than War
“The lovely guy next to me had to be reluctantly hoisted away by his wife before the end of the gig as his back had “gone”, which was poetic to a point. Many of tonight’s crowd were there at the original ’92 gig and time is a tricky traveller. MC Troy Hawke observed one fan sporting a bucket hat and a walking stick, but for most however, this was a time to remember when Tim Booth had a full head of hair, as did most of their fans and times seemed possibly simpler. It was noted during the gig by guitarist Saul Davies that the band members may get older but the songs never age.
A brilliant night under a clear Manchester sky. It’s safe to say they’ve earned that blue plaque.”

Review: Dianne Bourne @ Manchester Evening News
“There may not have been the fireworks finale and a theme park backdrop that Alton Towers delivered all those years ago, but James still gave us one hell of a rollercoaster ride. And made sure this night was another one for the band’s history books too.”
