Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor You can DOWNLOAD tracks from JG's CD EP '5' here - rumour has it they're quite good (remember we Brits tend to go in for litotes rather than hyperbole - at least some of us do). There are lo-fi mp3s of 'You can't wrap your arms round a memory' (words & music (c) James Gale 2007) and 'A whisper in the darkness' (words (c) Meiying/James Gale, music (c) James Gale 2007) on the player now - you can listen to the others in lo-fi at iLike .(PROMO HYPE!!!) Bristol born and bred, with roots deep in the UK West Country, James Gale has returned to the music scene he left long ago and is rapidly forging a reputation as a writer of original, sensitive and thought-provoking songs. Numbering at the latest count well over 100 and steadily growing, his songs are for the most part solo efforts but include the fruits of several collaborations with other talented lyricists.In performance, feedback says he provides audiences with a genuinely pleasurable and satisfying experience. Without any trace of going over the top, he succeeds in conveying the emotional content of lyrics to the full.James also has a repertoire of over 200 covers ranging from jazz-tinged standards to English traditional and touching most points in between - country, soft rock, blues, ballads... Tracks currently on the player: 'Everywhere I go (you're following me)' and 'The Word' are purely James Gale originals – words and music. 'Babysham Friendship' is my setting of a poem by an old friend who wants to stay anonymous for the time being, while the lyric for 'Three Moons' is another of Meiying's exquisite poems. See above for info about 'You can't wrap your arms round a memory' and 'A whisper in the darkness'.Lyrics/chords are available on request – but please remember (I’m sure the reminder’s not necessary!) all songs are original and copyrighted…...and now there's The James Gale Band - JG with the excellent Elliott Scott on drums/percussion and the multi-talented Doug Hamilton on stand-up electric bass and other instruments. |

Just James Gale, singer-songwriter guitarist, basically, but 'Jimmy & The Boys' (and/or Girls!) surfaces from time to time with floating members selected from James's friends and fellow musicians... and now there's The James Gale Band - James Gale, Doug Hamilton and Elliott Scott ... at St Bon's, 6 July 2007 (photo: Trevor George) Influences: Too many to list, but all peripheral. Maybe Leonard Cohen, Dylan, Paul Simon, Al Stewart... Sounds Like: James Gale, hopefully! Type of Label: None |
