About James Walsh

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memory is playing one of the three kings in the primary school nativity & having a solo. The memory that kick started my career in music was seeing The Verve at Haigh Hall in Wigan. I became more determined from then on. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dusty Springfield, Dusty In Memphis Jeff Buckley, So Real: Songs from Jeff Buckley The Charlatans, The Charlatans These albums helped define the different aspects of my songwriting and performance style. From the effortless melancholy of Dusty,to the exciting stage presence of The Charlatans & the heavenly voice of Jeff Buckley Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Greatest Story Never Told” I like the atmosphere the gentle picking and emotional melody of 'The Greatest Story Never Told' creates. It's about my grandmother spurring me on. This could be the greatest story never told if you don't fulfil your potential and believe in yourself What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? With Starsailor I was lucky enough to support U2 at Stad De France just as 'Four To The Floor' hit number one in France.As a solo artist I had the privilege of being invited to open for Suzanne Vega as part Robert Smith's (The Cure)Meltdown Festival Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'd love to play Glastonbury Festival as a solo artist and just release an album that resonates with people and has longevity.
