Find out more about James' top 5 greatest things in music which includes his wedding day compilation album!
Greatest Gig:
I can’t pick just one. Great memories from the numerous times I’ve seen Paul Weller/Style Council to the big Wembley Stadium Gigs of the late 80s. I saw Madonna, INXS, Guns n Roses and even worked at the Bros Wembley gig! Also have great memories of David Bowie at the MK bowl. So there is no easy answer!
Greatest album:
Again too many to choose from but the compilation I made for my wedding is still great!
Greatest musical memory:
I’ll never forget the first time I listened to a Walkman. I was on holiday and someone lent me one of the very first Walkman cassette players with their music already to be heard. Sitting on a beach in Kent early one summers evening, on came Simon and Garfunkel Live in Central Park and the stereo was amazing. The contrast of a totally deserted beach and the sound of a massive crowd made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. A great memory.
Greatest band/singer:
Hard to answer. But Frank Sinatra gets my vote. I was lucky enough to see him live in concert during his last London gigs. Magical.
Greatest Hit of all Time:
Geoff Hurst 1966 World Cup final?
