GJP!
(That's gratuitous James post)
Right, it's finally done. Here's my gig report with a selection of non-James pics to go with it.
Before we went to see the gig tonight Jacqui and I had pretty much decided that this would be the last time either of us went to see James. Neither of us are heavily involved in the Buffy fandom any more and it just felt like we didn't have anything in common with the people that would be going
However, by the end of the gig we have both ENTIRELY changed our minds about this. This one was without a doubt the best performance I've seen from James yet. The music has moved away from rock and more towards blues and folk, which suits James's voice much better. He admitted this during the gig, stating that whilst he thinks Charlie is an excellent song writer, he tended to write songs which were a little high for James's vocal range.
The gig itself combined new songs such a Civilised Man with older songs which he wrote for Ghost of the Robot such as Angel and Dangerous. There was also an interesting song about the history of blues music which James jokingly suggested would get him sent to Guantanamo if he played it in the US. On a lighter note was the song Katie, about a girl James met when she was working in the props department of Buffy. James had a bit of a thing for her but they never moved beyond friendship. He later found out she was gay but wrote the song about her before he found this out. He was laughing about it while he played it
The only thing which ruined the atmosphere for me was the usualy annoying people shouting for James to take his shirt off. He always takes this in good humour and handles it well but it did make me embarassed to be a fan
But that aside it was an excellent gig and I look forward to hopefully seeing him again soon.
This is us before we went out

Could we be the new Beatles
James and Ghost of the Robot have their own bricks right behind John Lennon. The wall is covered in them with all the people who have played there over the years
