James can be heard with a variety of ensembles such as La Nuova Musica, Taverner Consort, Brabant Ensemble, The Cardinall’s Musick, and Philharmonia Voices. Having studied opera, he has also sung in the choruses of ENO and the Bregenz Festival. A former Assistant Vicar Choral at St Paul’s Cathedral, he still regularly deputises there, and is in frequent demand as an oratorio soloist. When not singing he can usually be found making friends with dogs.
