There’s good news for James fans with the baggy pioneers reforming for a series of gigs, which takes in a Dublin Olympia date on April 17.
Tickets priced between €41.20 and €46.20 go on sale at 9am on Friday February 2.
The reunion stems from an impromptu jam session founder members Jim Glennie, Larry Gott and Tim Booth [pictured right] had recently in their native Manchester.
“Things just clicked,” Glennie enthuses. “The stuff sounded amazing. Something special happens when the three of us play together. I don’t understand it and I don’t want to, but it was inspired, exciting and complete. With my hand on my heart, I can honestly say I’ve never been as excited by a period in James’ history as now.”
