**James Kirby
Born in 1985 on Merseyside, James first picked up a guitar at the age of 8. He first performed in primary school to help raise money for the 'Bucket & Spade' appeal. James moved to Kent in 1999 and was lead guitarist in Abandoned for three years, producing 2 albums. Then came his big break. Sikhona was formed and for 4 years they were a regular fixture on the Kent and London scene. James was the front man and during this time they released an EP and enjoyed Radio play. In 2009 Sikhona disbanded due to conflicts of interest. Since then James Kirby has thrown himself into a solo career with determination and vigour. His beautiful and melodic songs have resulted in him building a large and loyal fan base in little time. James' live sets hold audiences regardless of size, age or musical preference.
A busy year lies ahead for this ''breath of fresh air'' and ''modern-day Bob Dylan''
