Spirit of Broo is his second musical. After touring widely in Perth as a stage show, James is very happy with how something written for the stage can and does work as a book with songs.
James currently works in a medical industry and when not there he continues to write musicals. contemporary songs. He staged his fourth musical in Perth during November 2018.
James believes in the power of singing and more so singing harmonies in choirs.
