A violinist since the age of 7, James is a founding member of Roots-Rock & Roll band ‘The Buffalo Skinners’. The group have traveled extensively, performing at prestigious festivals including Glastonbury, The Cambridge Folk Festival, Tramlines, Truck Festival, Kendal Calling, Camp Bestival, and BBC Radio 2’s Live in Hyde Park event.
