Just after seeing him couple of weeks ago he is still amazing. He also has a new album out called guitar greats, its worth buying because its briliant
I also heard him first around 1972 on a compilation LP called "Picture Rags" (Transatlantic Sampler) In Melody Maker he was hailed as "The Welsh Django Reinhardt"
Saw him a few times live in the same year. Wonderful musician.
The brilliant John James has agreed to put on a show at Rugby Cultural Festival in July this year (2011) - tickets and details available by phoning 01788 535020 or emailing soundsmusic@hotmail.com.
I discovered John James in 1972 with "Picture Rag." It was a real "shock". Since then, I remain a fan of this great guitarist. A musician who combines virtuosity and beauty. Regards, Joel ...
THE best ragtime fingerstyle player to have ever come out of the British Isles - so very glad to see he is back playing and doing some concerts. Here is hoping we get some new CDs from him; that older material is re-released and that he gets the chance to produce some DVD based teaching materials covering his style. Wonderful stuff !!!!
