Find a cinema near you: https://jamesgettingawaywithit.com Formed in early 80s Manchester, James endured a decade of false starts, bad decisions and bewildering missteps. The group joined a cult, which forced them to meditate for 12 hours a day, leading them to turn down a US tour with The Smiths. They foolishly rejected Factory Records, hired their drummer on the advice of a psychic, and even undertook medical experiments to pay the bills, before their iconic hit ‘Sit Down’ propelled them to national fame in 1991. More chart topping hits followed, along with infighting, tax bills and the infamously hedonistic Lollapalooza tour. The band fractiously collapsed at the millenium, before reuniting in 2007 to find their biggest audiences yet, critical acclaim and finally, a number one album. James: Getting Away With It is a documentary about one of Britain's most beloved bands, and is Directed by Chris Atkins (Who Killed the KLF?, James Blunt: One Brit Wonder). It features candid interviews with band members past and present, contributions from Chris Martin, Brian Eno and Jo Whiley, unseen archive footage, and hilarious backstage scenes in the present day. The film is a soulful and wry account of creativity, friendship and the mistakes that shaped one of the UK music’s most improbable success stories.
