One of the great alternative rock outfits, James formed in 1982, and on the 12th April will release their 18th album, ‘Yummy’. A stripped down version of James featuring vocalist Tim Booth, bass guitarist Jim Glennie and guitarist and violinist Saul Davies performed with an orchestra at a charity event, Music Feeds Live: A Concert to Fight Food Poverty in aid of The Trussell Trust at the Manchester O2 Apollo on the 27th February. Over two galleries, Andrew Twambley provides photos from that gig.
