Due to unprecedented demand, Thursday’s show at The Irish Village has been moved to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.

Original tickets remain valid. Please note the venue has stated that you’ll need to have your ticket scanned and collect a wristband at the main entrance to The Irish Village, before you proceed to the Tennis Stadium entrances. They’ll be issuing wristbands from 6pm.

Fans coming to see the band in Christchurch next week, please note the venue has been changed – the promoter says, “Due to licensing issues with the Marquee, the Christchurch show has been moved to The Foundry at the USCA Building. All tickets remain 100% valid for the new venue.”

We’ve released a beautiful acoustic version of new single Many Faces today. This was recorded before the show at Baths Hall in Scunthorpe in May and you can listen to it on our WeAreJamesTV youtube channel or streaming platforms. You can even buy a digital copy for your very own from Amazon or iTunes!

Today we premiere the live video for our brand new single Many Faces.

This was filmed at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax on the ‘Better Than That’ Tour of the UK in May. It was the fourth time the yet-to-be-released song had been played, by which point it had already become a fan favourite at the shows.

Enjoy, and spread the word—as well as the sentiment.

The band have been dashing up and down the country this week promoting the launch of the album, and you can catch up on some of the fruits of their efforts online if you missed the live broadcasts.

• Download a podcast of the excellent in-depth interview from our visit to BBC Radio 5 Live.
• Watch the stunning acoustic rendition of new fan-fave Leviathan filmed in 5 Live’s Manchester studio.
• Listen to a very special Coming Home (Pt.2) performed in session on Radio 2 for Jo Whiley.
• NEW: Watch four songs performed live in studio for Absolute Radio, including two from Living In Extraordinary Times.

The band also joined Zoe Ball as her Sunday morning musical guests on ITV to play latest single Coming Home (Pt.2) and you can catch up on ITV hub here for the next few days.

We’re also pleased to confirm that in addition to scoring an Album Of The Day from 6 Music on Monday to mark the release, Living In Extraordinary Times was chosen by Virgin Radio’s Tim Cocker as his Album Of The Week.

Heading into next week, keep an eye out for the broadcast of the super little session we recorded for Absolute Radio this week which is currently due to air on Thursday the 16th.

Magnus Gjoen, the contemporary artist behind the new album’s sleeve, has created an extraordinarily beautiful, ultra limited edition 8-colour screen print of the grenade artwork which will be signed by artist and band. A truly spectacular piece, 70x70cm and valued at £1500.

There were 25 of these made.

To celebrate the album launch there is ONE of these beauties going to a lucky winner at the end of the week. Visit the web shop to find out how to enter. Wishing you luck!

It was a joy on the May tour to see ‘Many Faces’ become such an instant crowd favourite, and the spontaneous singalongs—for a brand new unreleased song, no less!—were something to behold.
