It is considered important to discuss all details with the parties involved by phone, in person, or Facetime/Skype about the event: Music pieces, who will direct or manage the occasion, dress, number of guests, etc.

Last minute bookings are always an option, but during the season, dates are quickly taken, so please plan and commit as far in advance as you are comfortable doing.

Services

James specializes in playing selections on solo classical guitar for occasions mentioned on this page.
The guitar is amplified appropriately so it is heard well in small or large or outdoor venues with fullness and clarity without imposing.

Microphones are available for all occasions.

James will learn special requests; if they are in his library, there is no charge, if they are not in his collection, there is a per song fee.

Music is also provided where there is no electricity - beach, forest, etc. - by battery powered high quality sound systems.

All Services for all People

James plays weddings, events and occasions for all religions and faiths, all genders, all cultures;  he has done 'one of everything!'

Although no wedding or event is too small, some venues are; please call to confirm James is the right choice for yours.

James does not play outside in extreme weather conditions without shelter of some kind; this may sound odd, but he has played on beaches in excess of 90 degrees and mountains during 20 degree weather, all with well learned lessons!

Highly personal service, respect, willingness, politeness, joy and positive support are the key words that guide James' musical business!
