At probably London’s smallest gig venue (are there any smaller?) The Betsey Trotwood, he played songs from Second Season as well as some new ones. The newies were mainly done first, solo acoustic, then on came his backing band The Protectors to perform the rest. As well as an accomplished songwriter, James is also a fine performer, and the songs sound great live. Particularly impressive was my personal fave ‘Dry Reaching for Grace’, and ‘Dream Trader’ came across with fresh life in a live setting.
He’s playing at the legendary rock/folk venue The Troubadour for the UK launch of his album on 16 Feb. If you’re in London, make it a date!
