Spencer James has been lead vocalist and guitarist with Sixties legends The Searchers for 37 years, prior to their retirement in 2019.

Touring with his own band, The Spencer James Band, during the interim, Spencer and the rest of The Searchers are uniting for a reunion tour.

They have performed in just about every prestigious venue in the world, including Wembley Stadium (with Sir Cliff Richard), National Indoor Arena (Millennium New Year with Sir Cliff), London Palladium, Royal Albert Hall, and Madison Square Garden, including tours of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, USA, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Las Vegas. He has remained hugely popular throughout this time.

Spencer James was also a member of the band called The First Class, which gave Spencer his first big hit with a song called “Beach Baby” in 1974. They appeared on many TV shows, including Top of the Pops, Lift Off with Aysha, and many European television shows.

Continuing with the legacy of The Searchers, Spencer now presents The Searchers Experience with his backing band – a show that recreates the magic from a band which successfully spanned five decades.

The show offers all the hits and more of The Searchers’ live show, presented with all the personality for which Spencer is known and loved.
