After a career in the armed forces, James studied percussion in Manchester at the Johnny Roadhouse School of Music and the Northern School of Music. He played with a series of bands including Witnesses, Gracious, Forum, Legend, Warhorse and Rick Wakeman. With Wakeman, James played on Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.[2]
