   About James Banner

I've been playing for just over 5 years and I'm learning all the time, not just by playing bass, but by opening my mind to things outside of music.

Current Gigs:

At King Edward VI College:

Orchestra (Double Bass)
String Ensemble (Double Bass)
Soul Band
Bass (voice) in Choir

Bands:

Atom

Birmingham Jazz Youth Group (with Jon Brown, Alicia Gardener-Trejo, Pete Freeman, Pete Lewis, Will Jenkins and Reuben Butler)

Sarah Davison (on acoustic guitar)

MYJO TOO!

I'm always looking for gigs if anyone needs a bass/fretless/double bass player, any style, own all real/fake books.

Past Gigs (people and bands I have played with):

Ademptio (progressive/instrumental rock)
B Block Blues (funk/soul/pop)
DPA Concert String Orchestra
MYJO 1
DPA Keyboards
Les Miserables
Conspiracy (grunge/pop-punk)
Distorted (pop-punk)
Jude Moreland (choirs)
The Boogie Band
Julian Powell (jazz/funk)
Louise Maguire
Lee Hopson

yeahh tbh, it'll be good though cause as soon as you can afford a car you can get one and you'll be able to drive it without having to have all the lessons
that might not make much sense to you but it does to me
and did it tip it down?
it did when we went but it was still really good
