Live Performance
Acoustic Singer / Songwriter
Guitarist and singer who writes and plays an eclectic mix of music. The individual pieces tap into blues, ragtime, rhythm and blues, music hall and folk traditions.
Some are extremely sensitive songs about life, people and relationships, while others are tongue in cheek. His albums are also sprinkled with classics from the likes of J.J. Cale, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Roy Orbison, the Inkspots, Jelly Roll Morton and Jimmy Rogers.
Having played abroad and in the U.K., especially in Bristol, the South West, Wales, the Midlands and recently the South East, at clubs, pubs and festivals, he has honed his singing and playing, creating a rich and cohesive sound. His finely crafted songs and guitar are a pleasure to listen to and live performances are always memorable. Despite the rarity of 'happy' tunes, the wry observations and descriptions of peoples' experience are somehow uplifting, delivering a sense of humanity and intimacy. Jim has chosen to play his own particular style of music producing albums appreciated and bought by listeners at live performances and now available via this web site.
Jim has performed with many respected icons of the present day folk circuit, including: Steve Tilston, Maggie Boyle, Mike Silver, Wizz Jones, Isaac Guillory, Chris Newman, Phil Beer and George Melly. Not forgetting the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra and the ever-popular Smile. On this album four talented musicians accompany him: Mathew Cresswell (cello), Dave Griffiths (mandolin), John Parricelli (electric guitar) and Jody Veal (blues harp).
Tucked away behind what used to be the Swindon College, within yards of the new Regent Circus development.
We now serve up to six quality Real Ales and an exciting new range of Craft Beers. We even have a wine list too!
We have a very simple menu. There is a selection of Pies with mash and gravy. All meat pies are made by our local butcher and perfect with a pint!
We have maintained the character of the pub, but given it a new lease of life. We’re sure it’s a pub that is perfect for meeting friends, listening to music, grabbing a quick bite to eat or just stopping in for a pint on your way home! Also a great place for a beer before or after a visit to the new cinema.
