   About James Rea
Another urban poet?!


I'm play guitar, bass and piano on these songs. and sing them too. Drums on the songs are provided by Nigel Clark, who's also producing my album and Dom James, who is currently becoming famous in Sunset Cinema Club.

I'm English too, in case you couldn't tell. But not northern. Hopefully that doesn't put anyone off though. Brummies could possibly be the next big thing.

If I'm lucky, anyway.

N.B. I wrote that brummie thing ages ago and now it's coming true. I'm still being neglected though.
For bookings send me a mail on myspace or here

i think the mouse died or old age, as we have no cats, nice place to go though i suppose.
people here are loving the train-pervert story too, though its not doing much for reputation of brum :)
