James and his wife Francesca founded United Voice, a choir of a hundred-plus, which performs in the country’s top concert venues including the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and the Cathedral at Blackburn, Lancashire. James runs his own school of music where he is a vocal coach. He previously worked with Sally Deford to produce a Christmas album,
His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful.

(Watch this space for surprise announcement next week.)

James also has a blog at jamesloynes.blogspot.com/, and below is an excerpt from an entry this summer:

On the 29th August, my choir United Voice North West performed their Summer Showcase. The concert was a mixture of songs they have performed in past concerts and things they have been working on at weekly workshops . . .

The show was a resounding success and everyone there left feeling uplifted... music just does that, doesn't it? Well, some music anyway! The Mayor of Sefton, Councilor Alf Doran and the Lady Mayoress, Councilor Gillian Cuthbertson were both present. After the Concert, the Mayor gave an extremely complimentary speech saying, "As Mayor, I am invited to attend many events, but I can honestly say that this has been one of the best musical events I have been invited to.” He then went on to thank the choir and request two encores.

How Can I Keep From Singing? can be purchased in the UK from James’ website, and from the Latter-day Book Store in Chorley and Godstone at http://www.facebook.com/l/1e2c5;www.ldsbookuk.com, and in the US at http://kunaki.com. I have to admit, I've just ordered a copy from the US store and can’t wait for it to arrive. I purchased James’ Christmas CD last year and was so impressed with his voice. Quality music all round.
