Stay safe

3rd April 2020 | Jim

Hi there everybody. I hope this finds you all well and coping okay.

I just thought I’d say ‘Hello’ and wish everybody the very best and let you know that although the members of James are scattered world wide and in our own states of lock down, we are thinking of you.

This is all a bit mad isn’t it? It goes without saying that these are indeed extraordinary times, that are impacting us all and some of you I know must be really struggling.

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones and for those who have family members that are ill.

Also to all of you self-isolating on your own and the issues that brings and to families isolating together and the tension and pressures of all being squeezed in a small space. This will end. It’s a pain in the hoop but we will get there.

It is great to see families and friends stepping up to help and support each other and there are some real heroes out there. (Andrew Perkins.)

And of course a huge ‘Thank you’ to all key workers who are working harder than ever. Ordinary people putting themselves at risk to help to keep us all safe and well. From the heroic NHS staff, to van drivers and shop workers keeping us fed, everybody.

Love and best wishes, Jim from James x

Pete Mitchell

14th March 2020 | Jim

So sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Pete Mitchell.

Pete has been a huge supporter of James through thick and thin.

A man prepared to put his love of music above all else and maintain his integrity in a business often lacking.

My best wishes to his family, and a massive thank-you to the man himself.

Many Faces, everybody belongs here…

5th December 2018 | wearejames

There’s only love that’s strong enough
To rescue us from self-destruct
You don’t think so, but we’re all the same
That’s just how it is

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

My brother’s mad at me, our room’s a tomb of dead canaries
I’m right, why can’t you see right to the bitter end
My God, what’s-his-name says your God is just calamari
My God’s new to this game, you don’t know who to blame
You don’t think so, you’ve got skin in the game
That’s just how it is

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race
Many faces
Everybody belongs here

There’s only one
Human race Many faces
Everybody belongs here
There’s only…
