James is an avid lover of music, especially jazz ! A master of the saxophone, James impresses with roaring solos in the university’s Big Band. He’s also a member of St Salvator’s Chapel Choir, and makes regular appearances singing at JazzWorks.

In his free time, James likes going on walks, getting coffee and making arrangements for The Alleycats!

“If there was a musical artist whose eyes you could lovingly stare into whilst one of their songs was playing, who would it be, what song and why?”

James - ‘Kate Bush, with ‘This Woman’s Work’ playing. I am in awe of her artistry, and the song represents how hard she worked to defy the stereotypes within the male dominated music industry. Also she’s just wonderful and I’d love the chance to sit down and learn everything from her!’
