James Walsh

James Walsh has made a welcome return with a new EP ‘Renewal’ which is his first taste of new music following the release of his critically acclaimed album ‘Coming Good’ in January 2023. Fresh off the back of his effervescent performance at Victorious Festival last year, James is set to reward his fans with some live performances around the country in 2025, with a fab show scheduled at Goldfinch on the 9th May.

As one quarter of British indie-rock outfit Starsailor, James has also carved out an impressive solo career releasing albums such as 2019’s ‘Tiger on the Bridge’, 2021’s 'Small Illusions' and 2014’s ‘Turning Point’, there’s no doubt that music runs deep in his soul.

James first found success as the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist with multi platinum band Starsailor. His latest solo offering ‘Renewal’ was written over a period of several months by James whilst he was recording ‘Where the Wild Things Grow’, the latest album from Starsailor which features the optimistic lead track ‘Better Times’.
