WENDY JAMES – Announces Extensive UK In-Store Tour
WENDY JAMES, who releases her new album ‘The Shape Of History’ on 25th October, has today confirmed a two-week long instore tour.
She will be taking in appearances at London’s Rough Trade East and Assai Records in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Written, produced and mixed by James and recorded in West London and New York City, ‘The Shape Of History’ is her tenth album and will be available digitally, on deluxe vinyl and via deluxe CD.
“I am so excited to be out on the road again! This time to introduce everyone to the songs on my 10th Album ‘The Shape Of History’ fittingly as an in-store tour of the UK. Venues which are near and dear to my heart! Record Shops!! Every one of these venues takes pride in delivering music to their customers, introducing new music, re-issuing music gone by and in my case… the culmination of a 10 album odyssey which began in 1986 when I co-formed Transvision Vamp!”
“It’s been a helluva journey, I have consistently delivered music without compromise, music I am so proud of and that I cherish, and of course, it’s the fans who’ve sustained me, built me up, been loyal to me and come on the journey with me. It means so much to me! It’s going to be a brilliant evening! I’ll play some new tunes from ‘The Shape Of History’ and I’ll also play a selection from each of my albums! I’ll intersperse the music with conversation and questions from the audience, all unprompted!! so it should be a fun and lively night, rounding up at the merch desk where I will sign and personalise for everyone who’s bought something of mine, and take photos too! I cannot wait to see you all!!”
