Blur bassist speaks of return to stage
Blur member Alex James missed a wedding for their recent show.
Alex James: Gig made men cry Blur bass player Alex James has revealed the feelings he experienced when his band recently returned to the stage.

Writing in his Rural Notebook column in the Independent, the musician said that the Colchester show, which was the group's first gig in ten years, caused grown men in the audience to cry.

He also explained that he still felt moved by the performance when he finished the show and headed to a friend's wedding party - having missed the ceremony because of the gig.

Commenting on the emotions which hit him, James wrote: "The sound of music I never thought I'd hear again, then home to this, the commemoration of everlasting love - love and music, the only enchantments we deserve or need."

Following their Colchester show, Blur also played a surprise gig at the Rough Trade East shop in London on June 15th, allowing 170 fans to see them for free.
