In preparation for their eagerly anticipated headline arena tour, James have announced an intimate warm up show at Wolverhampton KK’s Steel Mill on Tuesday 23rd November, and have partnered with Wolves Records to support the local music community by accepting submissions for a Wolverhampton based support act who may have struggled to get heard during the pandemic.
Wolves Records are searching for an indie or rock act playing up-beat originals to play a well-rehearsed 30 minute live show to a professional standard. The band must have their own backline and of course be available for the gig on the evening of 23rd November.

Wolves Records launched in September and have had over 1300 artist submissions to date, all of which will be listened to by a carefully assembled group of A&R and production consultants, ahead of signing the labels first acts.
The label is still inviting emerging artists, bands and producers to send in their music for consideration, with more information on how to submit tracks available on wolvesrecords.com.
"When we set out on our Wolves Records journey, one of the key objectives was giving local talent a platform", said Russell Jones, Wolves' general manager of marketing and commercial growth.
"The response to the label has been overwhelming and I’m delighted that this collaboration with James will provide a local band with the incredible chance to support such a legendary act.
"On behalf of everyone at the club I’d like to thank James for this opportunity and wish them the very best of luck for their tour."
