Why would I like to see James Morrison perform at the festival? The question is why not?? He is without a doubt one of our nation's best multi-instrumentalists. Ever. Not just in the current era. His trumpet work is outstanding, but add to that his skills on the keyboard,or the tuba, or the euphonium, or the trombone, add in the picolo trumpet... the list goes on. Phenomenal! Possibly this freakish ability gets overlooked by some; not by all.
And there is the fact that he just a genuinely nice bloke, who thinks about other people, who brings his friends into the picture when performing, and who has a great sense of humour. Not perfect, no-one is, but as a muso and performer, right up there.
Thanks for the chance to join the choir singing his praises!
