Handwritten Lyrics
James Grant and The Hallelujah Strings
JAMES GRANT is one of the most renowned and respected performers Scotland has ever produced. The LOVE & MONEY frontman returns with his band and his own bespoke orchestra THE HALLELUJAH STRINGS following his two emphatic sell out shows at Celtic Connections 2016.
Expect classics old and new; Strange Kind Of Love, Whisky Dream, Walk The Last Mile, I Can’t Stop Bleeding, Winter, Does It All Add Up To Nothing, Jocelyn Square, My Thrawn Glory and more..
The concert will be at GLASGOW CITY HALLS on the 23rd SEPTEMBER 2016. The venue will have a special resonance with Love & Money fans; this was where the first public performance of their classic album Dogs In The Traffic took place, 25 years ago.

Icarus
His fey blue eyes
Cast in the matrix of the sky
Hair like honey
Upon the limbs of a heaven tree
I gave him wings, he flew away from me
Icarus lies at the bottom of the sea
His supernal kiss
Cold upon my lips
Brittle and tart
Then it roared and ate my heart
I gave him wings, he flew away from me?
Icarus lies at the bottom of the sea
We flew so high
We had untold riches, he and I
But we dipped so deep
Dipped so deep
And he dragged me down to depths I’ve never known
Now the die is cast
The wreckage of the past
Still, sometimes I fancy I may see
My angel over me

CRINGEING AMATEUR
Ok, when I said,’The CD has two extra tracks that will not be available in any other format.’
I omitted the line,”Including even this one.”
It’s extremely unprofessional, tawdry and shambolic, but these have become bywords for my ouvre..
It wasn’t my fault, this is true; but I’ve been punting the product like Swiss Tony the used car salesman.
Therefore I assume responsibilty(no-one else has).
All I can add is that you will get the 2 extra tracks, Vertical has all your emails and addresses, so if you bought the vinyl/CD package I’ll make sure you get them. We need to figure out how, but I’ll sort it. As soon as possible.
I’m just upset that our most loyal fans should be treated this way, when they have stood by me and the band for so long.
I thank those already who have said shit happens, it does indeed, it’s not the start to things I would have wanted.
Complaints etc. to info@verticalrecords.co.uk.

Love And Money ; The Devil’s Debt
LOVE & MONEY
After their triumphant sell out shows at Scotland’s Celtic Connections and The SECC in Glasgow and a handful of shows throughout Britain Love & Money now felt the time was right to revisit a forgotten element of their past..
The Mother’s Boy was an ambitious double album which for various reasons was abandoned, with some of the songs surfacing on the classic Dogs In The Traffic.
The band have re-recorded some of these songs, which, allied to some completely new songs has resulted in their first album for 20 years..THE DEVIL’S DEBT.
Put simply; this is classic Love & Money.
Featuring the elements which they became renowned for;
Pristine production; learned from the masters the band worked with – Tom Dowd and Gary Katz..soaring vocals, guitars and strings and the impeccable lyricism of writer James Grant.
Both statuesque and guilefully catchy, this is the essence of Love And Money..2012
THE DEVIL’S DEBT special limited Collectors edition vinyl album with CD featuring 2 exclusive extra tracks and signed by the band available from the 12th September.
Pre order now from http://www.verticalrecords.co.uk.
Price £21 (incl p+p).
Available for general release on CD from 24th September 2012.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
I will be playing two nights at the Edinburgh Fringe performing hits from all periods of my career.
The Blue period, the Death phase, the Fairly Sanguine years…its only an hour long show but I can guarantee an evening of complete misery. I’ll be flying solo but God is my co-pilot.
