James will be performing a special acoustic set tonight at Xfm Winter Wonderland - Brixton O2 Academy. He will also accept the Xfm Inspiration Award on behalf of the rest of the band.

Hope you are all looking forward to the O2 concert this Saturday (17th Dec). Please note there will not be a support act and the Manic Street Preachers will be taking to the stage earlier than normal with a stage time of 7.30 PM. This is so they can fit all the singles in before curfew in 2 sets.

You can purchase the book online from Faber in 2 different editons: Main Edition and Special Edition.
