Not a thought as such but my old boss is in 'the music business' (he told me the dates for the Oasis reunion 2 years ago, told me Manics were at Glasto the last time they were there before they were announced) and knows Martin Hall. He says James is part of some anonymous songwriting team who write for pretty much everyone and he makes more money from being a songwriter for hire than MSP these days.

Would love it if James had co-written Espresso or Padum Padum by Kylie or something

I'm choosing to believe this is 100% true. I can't think of any pop songs I've heard recently where there were was an obvious JDB flavour to it, but I'll be listening out for it now. Even if it means turning on Radio 1 once in a while.

Edit: Just searched who wrote Good 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo and there's no mystery songwriters listed. Although it was mixed by someone called "Mitch McCarthy" who doesn't have a wiki page and I'm going to wildly speculate is James under a pseudonym referencing the McCarthys.

Anyone watching James now?

Motorcycle
Ready for drowning (part sung in Welsh)
The boy from the plantation
Sullen Welsh heart
A design for life

I really hope one day James records a full Welsh language solo album, he could do some lovely Welsh standards like Gwahoddiad, Blaenwern, Dacw 'Nghariad

Somebody's isolated the James section!
Nice acoustic set too.
