Hey ladies and gents, hope the New Year has started well for you all.
So, I’m here in LA, on tour with the wonderful Adele. It’s a lovely 18 degrees and there’s a nice breeze in the air. We just arrived from Chicago and Minneaplois where it was minus 10 and snowy, so this is a nice change.
Today I’m doing the ‘Ellen’ tv show and we’re playing Nothing Ever Hurt Like You. We’ve got a great set up including 3 brass players from the amazing Nika De Costa’s band. They’re so good.
I’ve just been told that I am one of the nominees for the Best Male catagory at The Brits this year. I’m really pleased about that. When I won a couple of years ago I had a fantastic time. I’m so glad that I’m still fortunate enough to be doing what I’m doing, playing music and travelling the world, and to be nominated again is amazing. I’m delighted that everyone seems to be enjoying the album, and Broken Strings being such a big hit has given me a great start to the year.
To be alongside such icons as Paul Weller and Ian Brown is quite an honour for me so I feel privileged. I’ll be really honest with you though,I’m a pretty humble guy, but I’d love to win again! Anyway, whatever happens it will be a good night I’m sure….
I hope I’ll see some of you at the gigs that are coming up. Thank you so much for your continued support, you know what that means to me.
Sending you Love and Peace,
James X
P.S. We all watched the Obama inauguration here on Tuesday…..amazing stuff. Really moving wasn’t it?
