Last night we got heckled with the line "play something we know you self-indulgent pricks". So proud of that. Must've expected 2 hours of Sit Down, not the likes of Five-O, Life's a Miracle and Isabella

Spotted this little beauty whilst walking on the coast from Reiff to Achnahaird, whilst on holiday in the wonderful North West of Scotland a few months ago. Mink?

Visited this place every year for the last 15 years, still not bored of this view. #coigach #scotland #summerisles

Finally listened 🎵🎶❤️🧡💛💙
As much as we trust in James, we still worry due to the high standards previously set. Needn't have. It's officially AMAZING!!!
Initial fave is Shadow of a Giant, but will change daily I'm sure.
Thank you @wearejames 🥰

Quiz question:
Here's our Ian stealing a moment on the local library piano (love his face looking back expecting to be caught in the act)
NAME THE SONG
Clue: it's by James...obviously
