The SnutsMore Information & Reviews
Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“The buzz in the room is electric as the lights go up. It’s rare for James to play a show this small these days, their June 2024 show is at the mammoth O2, 10 times the size of this. They make those arenas feel intimate, but tonight you could see the whites in their eyes, smell the intensity of the performance and revel in the fact that it could all coming crashing down in an instant. The song choice might have been more straight-forward than usual, but this band is all about the delivery of them. And that was as unpredictably unpredictable as ever.”

Review: Scott Colothan @ Hello Rayo

Review: Andrew White @ The Northern Echo
“Booth was at his magnetic best when the climbed down from the stage and into the crowd for ‘Come Home’, walking among the faithful and rising above them by climbing onto a fence to deliver a tour de force vocal. It was spine-tingling stuff.”

Review: Lynne Thwaites and Thomas Jackson @ So.co
“Tonight we’re treated to the hits (and there’s plenty of those!) alongside some deeper cuts. The biggest cheers are reserved for the big three of course (Sit Down, Getting Away With It and show-closer Laid) but the band could have omitted them, as they often do, and the show would have been no less superb. “

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Sit Down is taken away from the band by the crowd and made their own and if Tim hadn’t stopped them they’d probably still be singing it now. It can be a cliche with audience singalongs but not when it’s this spontaneous. As if almost to prove a point the crowd don’t pick up Sometimes at the end so it comes to a slightly abrupt stop. It probably affords them an extra song as they quickly decide to ditch the encore ritual and finish with Come Home and Getting Away With It (All Messed Up), chosen off the hoof from a list of possibilities that means there’s a few moans about the exclusion of Laid. But this is James, you don’t get everything you expect or want every time, but you are pretty much guaranteed a joyous occasion, plenty of unique moments and a band that is thriving now as a unit more than they’ve ever done, reviving old songs and giving them new life and magic, throwing in the odd curveballs and never neglecting their most recent work.”

Review: Ryan Paton @ Liverpool Echo
“James exited the stage to rapturous applause after the sun had set in Liverpool and the Liver Building stood tall on the iconic waterfront in all its glory. Liverpool is renowned as being a musical city but, as the jubilant scenes played out against the most stunning backdrop, I was more convinced than ever that there is surely no better place to watch live music in the country.”

Review: Desh Kapur @ All Music Magazine
“Immaculately performed songs mixed with precious moments, gave us all, that James experience, an experience we all love. Having written so many iconic songs and witnessed so many different times, this is a British band to be cherished and heard but above all else, loved.”

Review: Dave Brown @ EvenTheStars.co.uk
“The band are on good form throughout, Tim spinning Andy round on his chair during Sit Down and changing a line in Waltzing Along to reference Andy’s broken foot. Saul tells us he looks like a sinister accountant before Interrogation. The interactions between the band seem to drive them on, Debbie in particular being a driving force particularly away from her drum kit. Life does, it seem, begin at forty.”

Review: Adam Smith @ Express And Star
“Tim Booth is still a fantastic front man, his voice and hips still move like the 1980s, and Andy Diagram’s still playing a trumpet in a dress, they all seemed to be having fun on stage, perhaps they were cutting loose without an orchestra behind them demanding every note being perfect.”
