   About James G. Wilson

CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE KUIPERFEST!!!

My name is James Wilson and I am a 25 year old, self taught guitarist from Wigan in the northwest of England.

I am currently living in Withington in Manchester with the band, VICTORIAN DAD, where I am one of three guitarists :). I am currently in the process of writing/recording a LOT of new material that I will be posting up on here as soon as it is finished. All the tracks on this page were recorded in 2005, directly into a minidisc recorder by myself, except "Friends" which was recorded in November 2004 direct into a computer on my own. Hope you enjoy the music :)

If you are going to add me as a friend, please send me a message before hand as I'm not really into adding people and then never speaking to them. Don't worry, i don't bite :)

I recorded the soundtrack to a film by my friend, Horatio. You can watch the film here:

From Death to Image


You can also watch a live video of me playing over the film at a night called, "Fiasco":

Here is another film/sound installation that aims to disrupt common sensory perception entitled, "Breathe" by my friend, Horatio. The music is from a piece also entitled, "Breathe" that I recorded myself. You can watch the film here:

Breathe


Thanks a lot

Jimmy

P.S. Sorry if it takes while for me to add you/respond to your messages, my interent time is very limited. I will however try my best to respond as quickly as possible x

Aidan Smith and his Indulgent Friends play at The Art of Tea in Didsbury.
A new album, Allotments, is due out soon and advance copies will be available at the show.


Also playing are Brighton's The Miserable Rich, returning to Manchester just two weeks after their great show at Hedge for a more intimate set in this wonderful cafe. And this time they'll have vinyl copies of their debut single, Pisshead/Boat Song...

Hedge presents the legendary Peter Walker with support from John Fairhurst and Olivia Moore
Friday 25th April, 8pm
St Margarets Church, Whalley Range, Manchester, M16 8AE

Finally touring again after nearly 40 years of quietly working damn hard on his playing, Peter Walker comes to Manchester. Truly a Godfather psyche raga flamenco and folk. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akhbar Khan, travelled to Franco era Spain to study flamenco and jam with the gypsies and was at the heart of the San Fran acoustic scene.

Don’t for a minute let your mind wander to the watered down come-backs of some of his contemporaries; Peter has just matured and improved, developing his passion for flamenco. A rare opportunity this is, to encounter a player of Peter's influence and excellence.


In support are two local musicians, descendants in a musical family tree.


John Fairhurst has travelled extensively with his guitar, playing everywhere and anywhere with allsorts of people. A heavy Raga influence, with elements of gypsy jazz, a big spoonful of blues and psyche folk.


Olivia Moore, a truly gifted violinist, has herself travelled to India on numerous occasions to study. After many years playing classical violin, she delved into the worlds of jazz, flamenco, Cuban music and improvisation.
Awesome!

Tickets available from Piccadilly Records, John Fairhurst and wegottickets

An evening of all things Dr Butlers Hatstand Medicine Band in appreciation and celebration of the release of their 1st album 'Music for Parlours & Promenades' @ the Deaf Institute, Grosvenor St, Manchester.
