Fri 12 Apr, 8pm £27.50 / STANDING ONLY We are delighted that James will kick start their Gathering Sound arena tour, right here at the Tolbooth. The Manchester band, who just celebrated their 30th anniversary, have sold more than 20 million albums world wide and will be performing songs from their extensive back catalogue and possibly some new material too.
This exclusive gig for 200 people is the night before they play the SECC in Glasgow and then head on their stadium tour of the UK finishing with two gigs at the V Festival. It’s not often you get the chance to see such a massive band in an intimate venue; definitely a night not to be missed. wearejames.com
International superstars James have been on the music scene since 1982. Best known for their success in the 1990s with singles such as 'Sit Down', 'Laid' and ‘She’s a Star’. After splitting in 2001 they have since reformed, released a new album and embarked on a tour.

The Changing Room 1997 - 2013 The Changing Room closed its doors on Saturday 30 March 2013 for the very last time. Since its opening in 1997 it quickly established a reputation for bringing the best in contemporary art to the area, to the only contemporary art gallery in Forth Valley.

It not only brought emerging and established artistic talent of international standing to Stirling but also provided a crucial forum for vocational training and peer support for locally-based artists and young people to explore, develop and challenge their ideas and experience of art. A lot of the success of the gallery was the result of the

Officer, Kirsteen Macdonald. A huge thanks must go to her. Equally, none of the gallery's achievements would have been possible without the dedication and commitment of a host of talented volunteers. We would like to take this chance to thank them and you, our audience, for your support over the years.
Finally, it has been an honour for me to work with so many exceptional people and to be part of the wider UK network that nurtures the real talent we have in Scotland.
