Sounds LikeWhile the 60's, 70's and 80's influences are loud and clear, the overall sound is nevertheless very much James's own and is something to savour.....Steve Caseman************************************** Ceri James’ knack has always been as a heart felt singer songwriter with his influences firmly set in the glorious era of 60s pop....GIITTV*********************************** oddly engaging brand of shambolically constructed Britpop....Rock'n Reel******************************************* a sense of poignancy and genuine emotion that would be hard to fake.....Noizemakesenemies*****************************

   About Ceri James
I grew up in South Wales and my family are mostly Welsh but I was actually born in London and I've been living here for well over 10 years so I guess I'm an Anglo Welsh Londoner.

He plays regularly in Central London and South East London. Ceri has played on the same bill as bands/artists such as Art Brut, Glenn Tilbrook, Mark Morriss (Bluetones) and Pop Levi to name a few. Track Mr. Songwriter is on REPLUGGED IN NEW X CD released 2006. Released single Poor Little Rich Girl/Tuesday Aug 2007 with Tuesday Heartbreak.

Haha no, I wish, it's virtuoso classical pianist called Clive Williamson. I should probably make that clearer actually, there's more info about that in one of the blogs.

Some of the piano on the Number9a tracks is me, but I'm useless now, started having lessons again recently.
