Topic: James Oliver Band

This young Welsh player has been making quite a big noise recently; enough too  have impressed one of my local promoters to book him as his first gig of 2021 as soon as the lad came off stage at Skegness last month.


James started off in 2012 with the band Glas and has three credible contemporary  albums under his belt before embarking as a solo act. Influences seem to  be just about anybody and everybody who's picked up a Fender in the last 60 years but it seems to have distilled down to Blues, with a "surf" vibe.... and flashes of Albert Lee

An album of new and original material due later this year....

When life gives you lemons; don't make lemonade.
Give back the lemons.  Why were the lemons free?  What's wrong with the lemons?
Do Not trust the lemons...
