As anyone who has witnessed James and his band live before will attest to, this is a tour absolutely not to be missed.

His debut single ‘Hold Back The River’ is currently playlisted at Radio 1 and the accompanying video reached over a quarter of a million views in under a week with numbers continuing to climb rapidly. The ‘Hold Back The River EP’is released on 24th November via Virgin EMI.
