SINGER James Walsh described it as being ‘catapulted into a world of madness’ when Starsailor’s debut album, Love is Here, came out. A year before the record’s release, the four-piece could easily have been written off as a ‘college band’. But everything changed after October 8, 2001, when they reached number two in the charts, sold 150,000 copies in the first week and had interest in their music all around the globe. Starsailor will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the album with a gig at Parr Hall. They be playing Love is Here from start to finish exactly two decades since its release.
STARSAILOR are to play a homecoming show in Warrington to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album.
