I was born at the age of 0 some years ago...

But seriously (here commenceth the expected bullsh!t...) - James Gale, born and bred in Bristol, England, with roots going deep into the West of England (Somerset, Devon and Cornwall - except Cornwall's not REALLY England, of course...) and South Wales, is now based near Göteborg/Gothenburg on the Swedish west coast. He is (so they say) a writer of original, sensitive and thought-provoking songs as well as a talented and charismatic singer and guitarist.

James's songs, numbering at the latest count well over 100, are for the most part solo efforts but include the fruits of several collaborations with other talented lyricists. He also has a repertoire of not far short of 1000 covers ranging from jazz-tinged standards to English traditional and touching most points in between - country, soft rock, blues, ballads...
