This is an introduction about Dan James taken from http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/herefordandworcester\/content\/articles\/2008\/06\/24\/dan_james_group.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan James has been a full time professional musician since 1997. When he’s not writing music or gigging he does this and that (mostly that!).<\/p>\n

Dan writes stories about people and their visceral struggle for existence – the hardships of fishermen, farmers and miners and the injustices of their lives.<\/p>\n

He derives much inspiration from the landscape – he loves the bleak post industrial landscape of Blaenavon and being high up in the mountains, as it’s a great place to think and be creative.<\/p>\n

There’s also the great widescreen skies of Lincolnshire and the bleak fenland, mudflats and misty shorelines, not to mention the old parts of Worcester city centre and Rainbow Hill.<\/p>\n

He’s been a wide range of bands, mostly very obscure, encompassing psychadelic, jazz punk, green agit pop, blues, modern jazz (be-bop), Hot Club jazz, folk rock and folk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
