James Walbourne is first and foremost a solo artist. However, when you are that fucking good you don't go unnoticed. Since I've known him he's been playing with Son Volt, The Pernice Brothers, Edwyn Collins, Me, Boz Boorer, Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more. He's done the new Pretenders album, he's doing pretty much every show with us at christmas, he has a few unbreakable commitments so i think he's missing four. Don't ask me which. But we'll be rehearsing and playing as a seven piece on those nights. Me and him have been doing an album since about 1999. We've got two and a half tracks so far and some little bits of songs but that'll have to go on hold for the next 20 years or so as James has just signed a major deal in the US. Oh yeah, and we knocked out the music for that Bitey animation in a couple of hours one afternoon. In fairness he should be the monickered the 11th Pogue because of Kirsty & Joe, but then they were both 9th Pogues too...so maybe we'll give him the number 9 shirt after all.
