James Hirst is a singer songwriter from Lancashire UK.

Born 30th September 1991

He started playing guitar when he was a child and has always had a passion for music. Growing up listening to bands such as Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Dire Straights have definitely influenced his current style both in guitar and vocals. His modern day influences are artists such as: Ben Howard, Daughter, Ed Sheeran,

It wasn't until early 2012 that he decided to start singing and plucked up the courage to do his first gig. After a lot of encouragement from the local people of Colne and Burnley he started doing more open mic nights and gigs with good feedback from listeners particularly about his own songs.

Song writing is James’ passion and he has recently recorded his first EP which was released in December 2012. James has performed live on BBC Radio Lancashire twice, most recently with his band, playing his new EP. His band was formed for the recording of his EP Yesterday, and when it was finished they decided to put their practice to use and start gigging.

The band mainly perform James’ original songs, but also play a few lively covers of artists such as: Ben Howard, Jake Bugg, and Foster The People. James’ music is varied and many people comment on how each song is unique yet retains his style, however the underlying tone is that of an acoustic singer songwriter.

The four songs on James' EP Yesterday'' are:

'''Tomorrow's New Home '''

'''Stories End '''

'''Yesterday '''

'''In Your Eyes '''
