James have always been a contrary, unique entity. This singular pop group, launched in a Withington scout hut in the early 80s, spent a much-lauded spell as vegan folkies, and entered the twenty-first century as arena-filling giants capable of attracting an audience of thousands even in Beijing. From their roots in punk rock, on football terraces and in Manchester's notorious Moss Side, they've come a long, long way.Folklore, the official history of James, tells the story of this vital, cerebral group from their early days in Manchester's fertile and feisty post-punk scene to their millennial number one album Millionaires and their status today as one of Britain's biggest and most individual bands. It's an engaging, erratic and driven tale. It's the definitive story of James.
