Few are as qualified, in every sense, as Dougie James.Dougie started singing at the age of 14, by 19 he was supporting Stevie Wonder in the Georgian Club in Salford and The Moody Blues in Sheffield. Success continued for Dougie, he joined Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five on the Peacock Tour in 1979 with his band The Soul Train and in the 1980s he worked with Ben E King, Frank Sinatra, Edwin Starr and Roy Orbson to name but a few. By this time Dougie was one of the most booked acts in the UK, singing on up to seven gigs a night.Four decades of performances which always included Emotion Filled ballads and Timless soul classics has made him Manchesters very own Master Of Soul. Most recently he supported James Brown at Manchesters Bridgewater Hall. His band The Soul Train has developed some well known stars from the North West, they include the late Paul Young from Mike and The Mechanics / Sad Café. Other band members include players from Dire Straits, 10cc and Lisa StansfieldStill going and not stopping, Dougie takes some time out to help his three sons, two of whom are actors Ryan Thomas/Coronation Street and Adam Thomas.
