James Vincent McMorrow for Whelan's

James plays Upstairs at Whelan’s on October 19. Tickets are € 12.80.

The Dubliner is also mixing four of his favourite demos for limited-edition vinyl and CD release, with work on his debut album commencing in London in late October.

Having started palling around of late with Mark Ronson, there’s a big buzz about him on both sides of the Irish Sea.
