    Saw some epic acts there, Soulwax was incredible there. Was fortunate enough to DJ in the grand circle at one of the Deep Hard n Funky gigs too. Great memories!

    I used to go dance parties at St James in the 2000's. So many neat spaces. It would be amazing to see this theatre continue on living......we need to hold onto our history in NZ

    Who is the young guy who wants to be an archaeologist....he deserves a helping hand to achieve his dream...hes obviously got his head screwed on and a great vision the country needs more youths like him...such a waste and a shame when they end up down the wrong path simply because it's so hard out there now

    I watched James Brown sing there. He said "And here I am... In the 'James'... The Saint James!". It made the crowd feeling proud we had something to offer that had style.
    And even Jeff Buckley sang/played there too I think.

    I saw this theatre on Ghost Hunt. It still looked so beautiful.I find this sad.

    It's so depressing watching this. What I don't understand is that the Civic was restored, why can't that happen to the St James? I also think the demolition of the Regent was another tragedy

    an old school friend's father used to manage the St James.. its bizarre to think that was nearly 20 years ago lol.

    It's less than 100 years old and has been closed since 2007. Tear it down and build a new thing. Do not make the mistake Wellington made with the town hall.
