Electric

In the 16 years James has been playing guitar he has made it his ambition to be the most versatile player. So he has worked hard over previous years to become competent in a number of different styles such as Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock, Funk and Soul/R&B.
As well as developing these skills, he continues to put them into practice live and in the studio. This all adds his own unique complementary touch to all that he does.

James is a truly an outstanding player . This is not because he is able to play fast 'face melting' solos or play his guitar with his teeth! It is because what ever he plays is completely complementary to the music whilst being tasteful and sympathetic. It's nothing flash, just pure feel and tone music!

James is currently studying a Music Degree at 'The Academy Of Contemporary Music' in Guildford, where he has previously graduated with a HND in guitar.

James also writes his own music. Most recently he has finished recording his first electric E.P. named 'Not Wishing For Stormy Weather', which he hopes will be a success in the industry. It's already had some local radio play and good feedback from critics.
In contrast to his previous solo acoustic album 'Short & Sweet' this new E.P. really shows of James' music and lyric writing talent! This really comes across when played by the 'James Mitchell band'.

James currently plays with Funkline (a five piece funk/soul function band) Check out up in-coming appearances on the 'Live Dates' page.
