James Hollingsworth - Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist

"James's voice is like a seventh string on his guitar, it's uncanny how well the two intermingle with each other and the effect is captivating." - Eleventh Hour, Bath.

"one of the best song writers in the country" - www.bristolrock.co.uk

"stunning and thought-provoking... a real artist in a sea of imitators. Hollingsworth is UNIQUE and dare I go out on a limb, I don't think he has an equal" - `EDEN

"James Hollingsworth was a revelation. His songs were sharp and melodic, the voice demanding attention and guitar-playing top quality."
- Bristol Community Festival.

"Taking time off from his other job, as lead singer with rock band JEBO, James Hollingsworth moves into his singer-songwriter mode, a field in which he has proven himself one of the most intriguing on the current Bristol scene. His complex guitar style is just as interesting, with a southern Spanish feel to it."
- Bristol Evening Post

“A beautiful voice with the emotion to match it - very rare to find!!”

"A calm veteran of the underground Swansea scene in the early 1990's, James has struggled through fire and water to produce his stunning and unique music, which often resembles both. His songs are about peace and love, and his improvisations carry you away on a light breeze of thoughtfulness. Check him out at various venues in the West Country." - Absolute Zero

"What a Singer!”- John Burns, Producer Genesis, Burning Spear, JEBO & others.

“an excellent and frenetic fingerpicker” - www.acousticmusic.com

"James Hollingsworth’s main stage set on the Saturday afternoon of the festival ranged from what was grounded in the traditional – a voice buzzing in the ear, the familiar plucked guitar – to what seemed to border on the celestial, as both voice and a much effected, but delicately measured, acoustic guitar swept back and forth across the arena. James’ performance was captivating… truly so, as many followed him to the intimate surroundings of the Bar Stage later in the afternoon, where an equally diverse mixture of songs and styles was in evidence." - Abbey Mill Folk Festival, 2006

"James Hollingsworth is a guitarist, singer and mean harmonica player. For anyone who's serious about their music this night is an absolute must, and there are hints of the great Bob Dylan himself in Hollingsworth's music." - www.thisisbristol.com

"He is without a doubt a rising singer-songwriter of the new era of Folk." - Indie World Cafe

"a superb voice and an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist" - Focal Music

“Amazing" - Tantric Jazz Cafe, Bristol.
