The Early Doors Club at ST Chad's Church w/ James Walsh (Starsailor)

James Walsh (Starsailor), live at St Chad’s Church Friday December 18th, doors 5pm We’re closing out 2026 at St Chad’s with one of the best known voices of the last twenty years. James Walsh is the singer and songwriter behind Starsailor, the multi-million-selling band whose albums include Love Is Here, Silence Is Easy and On The Outside. Alcoholic, Good Souls and Four to the Floor are all his, and they still fill rooms. He’s Lancashire born too, from just up the road in Chorley, which makes this a bit of a homecoming. Here, it’s James and an acoustic guitar. Expect the Starsailor songs you know every word of, stripped back to just a voice and a guitar, plus solo material and a well chosen cover, with the stories behind the songs along the way. Few rooms suit that better than a church that’s stood on its hill above Rochdale for over 850 years. It’s the last Early Doors Club night of the year, and an early start means you can make an evening of it afterwards. 📍 St Chad’s Church, Rochdale 🕔 Doors 5pm, finish by 8pm 🎟️ Pay What You Can, book your place at the link
