Fantastic performance, James responded very quickly, this was a last minute booking due to us being let down. James was professional and his performance went down a treat. Thankyou James. Amazing.

Had James play at my venue a cpl of weeks ago as a launch for live music. He arrived in good time and set up without fuss. Found him really friendly and accommodating. When he started singing his voice blew the crowd away and watching them hanging onto his every word was so good to see. His set was a mix of original songs and covers which got the crowd involved. He played a good set and was really enjoyable. Definitely having him back to play. 5 star Julian

The Irish centre have taken his details and will definitely be using him again! “James played a private function for us and was very professional from point of contact. He was on time on the night and had the crowd up dancing from the moment he started. Would definitely recommend”
