DESCRIPTION:James trained at the Royal Northern College of Music\, Manches
 ter\, and very quickly became established as one of the country’s leadin
 g contemporary classical and electric guitarists\, beginning with performa
 nces of works such as Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint with the Rambe
 rt Dance Company\, and in Boulez “Le Marteau sans Maitre”.\n\nHe is in
  continuing demand and much sought after by various contemporary music ens
 em- bles\, such as Lontano and the London Sinfonietta\, and is a long-stan
 ding member of both the Gavin Bryars Ensemble and Icebreaker. He performs 
 regularly as soloist and ensemble player with the London Chamber Symphony\
 , Birmingham Contemporary Music Group\, BBC Symphony Orchestra\, the LSO\,
  The New London Chamber Choir\, Music Projects London\, Almeida Opera and 
 the BBC Singers.\n\nJames’s name is already familiar to listeners of Rad
 io 3\, being frequently mentioned during broadcast performances of the BBC
  Symphony Orchestra\, in works featuring classical\, elec- tric guitar\, o
 r bass guitar.\nHe is a frequent collaborator with a number of contemporar
 y dance companies\, in particular being associated with Richard Alston for
  the last two decades and with The Merce Cunningham Dance Company from 199
 9 until it’s close.\n\nAs a solo classical guitarist James has given num
 erous concerts. Repertoire over two decades has included Tippett\, Britten
