The movie takes a look back at the career of the music legends

A new movie chronicling the career of musical favourites James is to be screened at a Doncaster cinema.

James: Getting Away With It is the fully authorised story of one of Britain's most iconic and unlikely bands, told for the first time.

A spokesperson for the film said: “Formed in early 80s Manchester, a group of awkward misfits stumbled through a decade of false starts, bad decisions and infamous missteps – joining a cult, turning down the chance to tour with The Smiths and rejecting the legendary Factory Records – before breaking through with Sit Down.

“Fuelled by an improvisational and chaotic approach to music, they built a remarkable catalogue over 40 years.

“Yet success deepened their dysfunction, leading to collapse at the millennium.

“But fans refused to let them die and after repairing their differences, they reunited in 2007, finding new life, bigger audiences and finally – a number one album.”

The film will be screened at the Savoy Cinema in Sir Nigel Gresley Square from 7.50pm on August 17.

Following the film screening, a special live performance by the band, live from Manchester’s Aviva Studios will follow.
