Review: David Brown @ EvenTheStars.co.uk
“It’s testament to the bloodymindedness of the band that they hadn’t played She’s A Star, the lead single from the orchestral album Be Opened By The Wonderful, until tonight. This version is stripped back to let the orchestra take over whilst Tim sings the build into the final chorus stood facing Chloe. As it finishes he tells us they only chose the set within the last hour before they go on stage, which Saul says is a sign that they’re not over. Jim adds that you’d think after forty years they’d know what they’re doing by now to which Saul jokes that this is a celebration of their inadequacy. In many ways this is absolutely perfect.”

Review: Andrew Steel @ Yorkshire Post
“Festival instincts are hard to trample though; Sometimes arrives with a burst of wild euphoria, before an unplanned Top of the World diverges from the setlist to play them out. Four decades in, there’s plenty of new light through old windows here.”

Review: John Hayhurst @ York Calling
“James have ‘Lasted’ 40 years in this music business and have decided to bust out an orchestra and choir to celebrate this and the release of an album of orchestral re-working of some of their best tunes. Tonight was the 3rd date of an extensive tour of concert halls, where they have traded down from their usual arena and festival appearances, but upped the intimacy and quality and variety of performance by 50%.”

Review: Gareth John @ York Press
“He seems gentle, humble, generous, and appreciative tonight and creates an almost spiritual experience drawn from the harmonies of his poetic and timeless lyrics. Hearing the band, orchestra and choir was a truly exceptional way to hear James perform their rich back catalogue with sensational choruses and a community of rising sounds carried beautifully by Booth’s distinctive and textured voice. A night to remember.”
