James' Reviews

5 out of 5

I'm John Drummond and I run a couple of open mics and I'm the Musical Director for local charity the Redbridge Music Lounge. I've known James a couple of years now and would say that he is a very talented young man who cuts a striking figure at the open mic. Extremely well prepared and gifted on electric lead guitar, he can play acoustic and can really get an audience going with the songs he sings. He's very reliable and highly capable on PA equipment as well.

5 out of 5

James is an extremely skilled guitarist. On New Years Eve, he performed a huge range of classics in which he was consistent and strong throughout. From Start Me Up to Purple Rain's insane solo, James performed with a great love and passion and really worked the audience. It was very enjoyable to watch him play as he was strong in all aspects of it, great guitarist with a great attitude for performing.
