The live performance from Manchester will be broadcast directly to select cinemas, meaning that if you can't make it to Aviva Studios then you still have the chance to experience this one night only event on your local big screen!
A soulful, wry story of creativity, friendship, spontaneity and embracing the mistakes that shape you.
James: Getting Away With It is the fully authorised story of one of Britain's most iconic and unlikely bands, told for the first time. Formed in early 80s Manchester, a group of awkward misfits stumbled through a decade of false starts, bad decisions and infamous missteps – joining a cult, turning down the chance to tour with The Smiths and rejecting the legendary Factory Records – before breaking through with Sit Down.
Fuelled by an improvisational and chaotic approach to music, they built a remarkable catalogue over 40 years. Yet success deepened their dysfunction, leading to collapse at the millennium. But fans refused to let them die and after repairing their differences, they reunited in 2007, finding new life, bigger audiences and finally – a number one album.
