Can anyone please tell me what John Williams wallpaper is like to hang, and should I line walls first as well. Thanks

Never used it.

If it is fairly thin then, yes if the walls are fairly rough, line them.

However, if you decide that it is necessary to line the walls, I would recommend using the usual starch paste for the lining and then a PVA (premixed) based version for the JW paper.
 
  1. yes thanks opps, knew that, just wondered if anyone has used it so I know what to expect, customer hasn't got paper yet but says its about £70 a roll and John Williams. Have heard people say not nice things about Sandersons paper but just used that and had no probs with it. any one else used J. W ? . thanks
 
As long as the walls are prepped properly and /or cross lined, you shouldn't have a problem. A ready mixed adhesive will slow the job down a bit but it will be better in the long run. Wipe every joint with a damp cloth and use a seam roller as well. Keep the joints tight but not overlapped.
