<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial">Finalist
in this year’s BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards, playing to a full
house at the Sage, Gateshead, and featured on Mike’s Radio 2 folk
programme in December 2005, James and other finalists were described
by Mike Harding as “the cream of the UK’s young acoustic folk
and roots scene”. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial">James
writes all his own songs and is reluctant to categorise his work. He
has a wide and eclectic taste in music which has coloured his own
compositions and is equally at home with rock, folk, blues, jazz,
indie and just about anything else that crosses his path. He would
list just a few of his influences as Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Jeff
Buckley, Bob Marley, Radiohead, Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Bach
and Rachmaninov.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial">James
own songs are beautiful and haunting, songs which stay with you long
after you have finished listening. In his solo performances, his
style varies from contemporary folk to trad blues. He also sings his
own distinctive arrangements of songs by the likes of Jeff Buckley,
Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson and James Taylor.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><font color="#FFFFFF">With
his band, James offers an 3-piece acoustic set with his
multi-talented band members, Ali and Nathan, each of them
alternating between piano, guitar, bass, violin and harmonica.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"> </span></font></font></p>
