Ottawa Citizen (Lynn Saxberg)
The Bluesfest stop marked the third gig of James’s first North American tour in nine years, long enough that the band had almost dropped off the radar of a generation of music fans. Booth said there were a number of reasons for the long absence, starting with the lack of record-company tour support.
“We’re such a big band,” he said, “and we also bring a great sound man and lighting man, so we only end up breaking even, or losing money. This was a one-off opportunity to come with Psychedelic Furs and do a co-headliner. That’s what brought us here.”
In other parts of the world, James has been going strong. “We didn’t drop of the radar elsewhere,” said Booth, who’s 59. “We’ve had three records in the top 10, and we’ve sold more tickets in England last year than ever before in terms of live performances. We’re thriving in different countries, but just North America lost out.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk
“Things then take a sinister turn. Picture Of This Place is a verse in when Tim stops everything. There’s a fight in the middle, he tells security to get in and sort it out which they do eventually, but not before he moves to go in himself to resolve it before Saul tells him not to. He’s visibly shocked though and the blood mixed into beer on the floor at the end suggests it wasn’t pretty. But from it comes a moment of beauty. A woman grabs his attention, whispers in his ear that she lost her husband a year ago and life’s too short and not worth doing that for. They change the set and play Moving On instead. Tim goes on what looks like a very brave and bumpy crowd surf to the sound desk and back, risking his foot to the alcohol-fuelled crowd, but safe for one idiot who grabs him towards the back, he’s returned safe and sound.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk
“Against the heavy odds stacked against it by the venue’s physical restrictions and some of the audience’s reluctance to engage with the spirit of the acoustic performance, the night feels like a triumph, one of those hard-earned ones with backs against the wall with a last-minute winner taking the spoils of battle.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk
“The encore might be one of the worst kept secrets of the night as a curtain is pulled back to reveal the Love Music Community Choir who recently posted a video of How Hard The Day from Living In Extraordinary Times online and were invited by the band to perform with them. It’s How Hard The Day that starts the encore, the song lifted in the chorus by several dozen voices that transform the impact of the song’s chorus.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk
Even though Tim’s restricted in his movement by damaged ankle ligaments, the power of these new songs, the most strident set since they reformed if not ever, still shines through brightly. “I can’t dance, but I can do a good hobble” he laughs, before replying to a query about the health of his leg with “it’s a foot.”
Ring The Bells gets more people up, you watch Tim look desperate to let loose as he waves his crutch up in the air and the top half of his body gyrates in time to the accelerating pace of the song. He urges those still seated or who thought they were coming to watch James Arthur to join in or go home at the end of it. He then sits down and sings Five-O in his chair, spinning round making it part of the act.
