James Walsh (Starsailor) - Live at The Half Moon for Independent Venue Week

Front man of multi-million selling band Starsailor, James Walsh has proven his own worth as a singer-songwriter in his own right. He's written songs with Eliza Doolittle, Melanie C, Suzanne Vega, and Professor Green - to name a few; as well as writing movie soundtracks.

Starsailor's initial run of success saw both their 'Love is Here' debut album and the 2003 follow-up 'Silence is Easy' hit #2 on the UK charts as they raced to a total of 3 million sales. The band also enjoyed more than their fair share of prestigious gigs, supporting the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Police, The Killers, and U2.

This return was swiftly followed by the release of their biggest hits through 'Good Souls: The Greatest Hits' which included two brand new tracks 'Give Up the Ghost' and 'Hold On' (released in September 2015 on Parlophone).

James along with his band, Starsailor, released their 5th studio album 'All This Life' in September 2017 (Cooking Vinyl), which charted at #23 in the UK album charts.

James released in his debut solo album 'Turning Point' back in 2014.

Turning Point was very much a coming of age album, full of wonderful examples of James's ability to weave inspiring melodies round simple chords, creating timeless and classic songs.

James recorded his latest album 'Tiger On The Bridge' in front of an audience of fans at RAK Studios in London, there was even a successful marriage proposal during the recording which James orchestrated on behalf of the groom-to-be.

James said; 'I've been lucky enough to have had some amazing moments creating music over the years that I'm immensely proud of. But there was something particularly special about this experience. Writing these songs has helped me through a turbulent time in my life and recording it in front of the fans and people I work with who've been so supportive over the years felt like the perfect way to do it'
