Wendy James (Transvision Vamp)

About the Event

This event is promoted by The Venue, Derby LIVE are pleased to act as a ticket agent.

Wendy James is marking her return to music with a one-off performance in Derby. She is most recognised as the front-woman of iconic 80s alternative rock band Transvision Vamp, which enjoyed chart success in the late 1980s with a string of hits including Baby I Don’t Care, I Want Your Love and Revolution Baby.

Her sexually charged and rebellious image won her a huge following of devoted fans, including Miley Cyrus who stated she loved James’ look and sound.

Following the band’s split in 1991, James went on to collaborate with a number of music legends including Elvis Costello who wrote a full album’s worth of material for her, which formed her first solo album “Now Ain’t the Time for Your Tears” in 1993.

“The Price of the Ticket” is James’ most recent output, which has seen her work with the likes of Iggy Pop’s Stooges, The Patti Smith Group, members of the Sex Pistols, and Nick Cave’s band The Bad Seeds.

Now armed with the catalogue of new material, the audacious vamp will be rocking the Venue with a full live band where she will sing a host of old favourites as well as tracks from her latest album.
