The James Hodgson Band is in rehursals at the moment with drums and a double bass to add to the guitar and backing vocals. We are working on a whole new set and bringing a newer darker side to what we do.Based in Sheffield we have been engaged in a 'rolling tour' from January. We seem to have played just about every venue in Sheffield, but are always open to offers from new towns and places.With the new line up we expect to be out in front of you by the end of August. If you need to get in touch, just drop us a message and we can talk.Cheers....
