About Me

Originally from Glasgow,Jim Holmes began as a singer,performing with bands around the Glasgow area, before moving south to Nottingham,where various projects ensued before the chance to move abroad to Belgium and Holland arose. It was there that he performed as a solo act for the first time and embarked on a number of gigs and festivals ,fine tuning his performance over the next 4 yrs. Jim returned to the UK to settle in the North West,where he has since played many solo gigs including Liverpool..s Cavern Club,The Barfly,The Performance Rooms,Zanzibar,Southports Cafe Matisse,Manchester and a host of live, open mic,and charity nights around West Lancashire. With influences ranging from Tim Buckley,The Who, Patti Smith and The Foo Fighters,he has one of the strongest and most individual voices around. Birdsong, Spear and Megan..s Song were recorded at Dead Frog Studios , mixed by mr Paul Draper. Recently Jim has joined up with Andy and Helen from Northerndaze where they have been recording a new ep, again at Dead Frog Studios in Bickerstaffe, to be released this April.....stay tuned for info on gigs,the cd and more up and coming events!
