Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“James feel like they’re on a roll right now, there’s an on-stage energy and creative tension that makes them thrive. They’re ready to take risks but also understand the need to give everybody something to walk out the door with, mixing the known with less-known, confident in the latter to win the crowd over. From the likes of Johnny Yen and Hymn From A Village through to Isabella and Beautiful Beaches, they’ve discovered an anti-ageing serum that all of us in the crowd would love to bottle and apply.”

Review: Neil Dowden @ Music OMH
“From their 1990 breakthrough baggy album Gold Mother, Come Home has the crowd singing along as does their biggest hit Sit Down, with Booth conducting everyone in an extended a capella chorus. He dedicates it to the memory of their former collaborator Sinead O’Connor, paying tribute to her whistleblowing in particular. Booth, who has entertained with frenzied whirling dervish dancing and constantly engaged closely with the audience at the front, goes one step further during Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) as he surfs on the crowd. James close with the gospel-like Sometimes with the chorus “Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul” bringing everyone together at the end of the evening.”
