Can't say that I'm a fan, although I have seen 'em live a few times.

But Tim Booth has announced he's leaving the band.

And they're planning to continue.

Surely they won't be the same beat combo without him?

James without Booth's dancincg... As absurd as NO without Barney's

Oh no... yet another band from almost our era splitting up. Soon we'll have nothing left except that mini 80's collective that are doing the rounds.

James = Timmy Booney and a gang load of misfits hanging on for dear life. Once he's left the building, the others may as well sink beneath the earth (again).

Can you remember when he had a big curly perm. They were the days.

James are a good band - Laid, Seven, Sound, the first half of the Millionaires album are all cracking. In fact 'Just Like Fred Astaire' is one of the best love songs of all time in my humble opinion. The fact that I nicked some of the lyrics for a Valentines card once has nothing to do with it of course.

it was over when larry gott left the band. that's just my opinion though.

Fuckin' fantastic band, great singles, not bad albums, but without Tim Booth it'll be cheerio chappies I'm afraid :headoff:

Perhaps Tim Booth has decided to focus on his 'other' career - writing for the Leeds Utd magazine.

That would be friggin' right - NO return and James, the only band holding my interest between Republic and Get Ready, get dropped from their label and loose their singer. Typical! CTD :cool:
