At a pretty respectable 6 foot 5 inches tall, James is the person you normally stand behind at gigs. Escaping from rural Northumberland at the first possible opportunity, he spent a while in Edinburgh learning maths before setting his sights on London. Still new in town, James likes to spend his time drinking (potentially) life threatening amounts of tea, reading books while crammed into the Northern Line and falling asleep on the nightbus. He currently works as a web analyst near Waterloo, as well as writing stuff online at night. His blog can be found at: otherbookclub.blogspot.com.
