An incredibly mature voice in harmony with timeless music

James’s vocals are incredibly mature, precise and expressive for a man of his slender years – and a very fine fiddle player he is, too. Jon Dyer on double bass and flute and Alfie Gidley on guitar and mandolin make up the trio and their material is focused on English folk, ideally from the west country, where James grew up. Revelling in each other’s company, their shows have a youthful energy that transmits to the audience, counterbalanced by the peaceful timelessness of many superbly sung old English ballads.
