John James

John James (born 1947) is known, primarily, as a solo acoustic fingerstyle guitarist, composer and entertainer.
Born and raised in the hills of West Wales, the first live music James was in the chapel: congregational hymn singing with an emphasis on harmony. When he bought his first record (Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti"/"Long Tall Sally") at 10 years old, he was already two years into classical piano study. After dabbling with different musical instruments including the drums and chromatic harmonica, by his 12th birthday the piano was forsaken for the guitar.
