FANS' favourite James have been announced as the first of the headline acts at Bingley Music Live 2015.

The band is back by popular demand after its 2010 appearance - becoming the first headliner ever to be asked to play the festival for a second time.

In a social media poll, run by festival organisers, the act was voted as the one most people would like to return to the popular three-day event in Myrtle Park.

Councillor Andrew Thornton, executive member for environment and sport, said: "We are delighted to have James back on the stage for Bingley Music Live, they have an enduring appeal and many loyal fans so I am sure this announcement will be a big draw."
