Addicted To Love, Jim's great speech, then Bat out of Hell!
We only performed 'Bat Out of Hell' a couple of times at our gigs, this was one of them. It was captured on tape. Jim's performance was epic, mine was ropey.
1991, Dave Last's record shop in Liskeard was burgled. A benefit gig was organised at the Carlton Suite with a load of local bands. To kick it off the James Brothers took to the stage. Here it is in all it's lo-fi, mistake ridden glory for your delectation.

At the time we always had to be careful where and when we played this U2 song. The 'troubles' were still a daily story on the news and sensitivity was high.
This band in the right place could have 'made it'.
A group of bikers and me. Natural talent, raw energy, a 'fuck off' attitude combining Punk and Rock we called 'Runk!'.
Exciting times!
Our 'signature' song.
Jimi Underwood (vocalist) started it, I finished it!
We were boys from the clay villages, hardly old enough to drink in pubs. But we had the energy, determination and love of playing for that not to matter.
