About Me

I'm an English guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer and I've had my own personal website for 8 years .. I joined the myspace community for networking reasons .. to get back in touch with friends from my past .. and hopefully to meet new friends too ... it seems these days as though the world his wife and his kids has a myspace site.
My friend list is growing .. daily :) ! Thanks to all who have added me.
For more than 20 years, I've been part of London's live music scene, gigging at venues as varied as the Royal Festival Hall, the Twelve Bar Club, and the London Transport Museum.
Nationally, I've appeared on UK radio (Radio 1, Radio 2, and Radio 5) and television (BBC 1, BBC 2, Channel 4, and Sky TV).
At a local level, I have been the featured live music guest on numerous local radio stations including; BBC GLR, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Radio Newcastle.
In October 2001, I was the guest of media iconoclast and all-round geezer Big George on his BBC Three Counties Radio show The Sound of Music.
Clips from the hour-long show are featured on my personal website Audio page.
Outside of performing, I've written music for television, including the theme tune for the BBC comedy "A Prince Among Men", and for a touring comedy show featuring Chris Barrie (Star of BBC TVs Red Dwarf and the Tomb Raider films).
I'm now based in Prague in the Czech Republic.
I needed a change of scene and I'd visited this beautiful city on a number of previous occasions and always loved it. I'm busier now than at any time in my working life.
I'm also venturing out of Prague either solo, or with Czech singing star Vera Martinova, with whom I have been working very closely for about two years now. I co-wrote 8 songs on her last album as well as playing guitar and co-producing it.

"When it comes to singer-songwriters, Jamie Marshall takes some beating ... an act worthy of Wembley Arena." ~ Don Craine in Bluesmatters magazine
"Jamie Marshall is a new shining light in acoustic music." ~ folking.com
"[He has the] ability to pen songs that instantly hook with melody lines aplenty and an understanding of what makes a song jump at the listener.
A classic songwriter who could quite literally show the big boys a thing or two"
~ Sean McGhee in Rock and Reel
"vastly underrated... he has the presence, personality and stage craft to fill any size venue." ~ Charles Holley Get Rhythm
"It beggars belief that Marshall is not an adult rock icon." ~ Jim Driver Time Out

"I know absolutely nothing about this man, but I will say this: anyone who can write two songs as good as 'The Judas Tree' and 'Which Side Of The Line' is worthy of closer attention."
