James Taylor a Grammy Award winning American singer-songwriter and guitarist, sings sensitive and introspective songs.

He will be preforming in Manchester at the MEN Arena on the 30th June and tickets will be available here. Again I do not know too much about James Taylor, but thank heavens for Youtube, just to enable you to get a feel of his music.

I am sure I will enjoy, partly because I am learning to play the guitar and there is nothing more enjoyable watching someone pluck the guitar with such sensitivity.
