'You like that? I like that! That's Eliza Carthy and the Wayward band, and that's a pretty wayward way to do that type of music! That's 'Devil in the Woman' a big old aggressive band, sounds good!!'

Jim is well known for his unorthodox approach to production.
A great communicator, Jim is very focused and can bring out the best in a project or artist, developing and encouraging great performances. His skills as a composer mean that he is able to offer arrangement advice and help with musical structure.
