James read music at St Hugh's College, Oxford, where he was appointed organ scholar. Whilst at Oxford he acted as musical director for many productions including The Wizard of Oz, Cabaret and The Yeomen of the Guard (Old Fire Station Theatre) and Marat/Sade, Iolanthe and The Oxford Greek Plays (Oxford Playhouse). Since graduating, James has worked extensively on cruise ships around the world, playing in such far flung places as Mexico, the Mediterranean, the Panama Canal and Glacier Bay, Alaska. He then went on to spend two seasons as musical director of Cirkus Arena, Scandinavia's largest circus, which included royal command performances in front of the Danish Royal Family, television broadcasts and a top ten album! In the UK James has worked with the New Palace Theatre Company on Fings Ain't Wot they Used T'Be and Treasure Island (Westcliff Palace Theatre), and numerous pantomime seasons for Paul Holman Associates including Aladdin, Snow White (Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl), Snow White, Sleeping Beauty (Oakengates Theatre, Telford) and Cinderella (Playhouse, Weston-super-Mare).
