03.03.2010 - James Hollingsworth wows the POW!

"This guy, who writes and performs all his own stuff, brought all his own equipment with him, making it look like he was setting up to play at Wembley.
But this painstaking attention to detail definitely paid off as the sound emanating from this man's guitar was crystal clear even above the usual hubbub of friendly banter that emanated from the pub's every oriface.
Let's just say that this guy had a voice. I don't mean like a normal everyday voice. I mean one of those singing voices that is so powerful and full of emotion that it was hard not to feel blown away by how good he was.
Hollingsworth's songs were at once folky, soulful, insightful and emotional and his audience banter was also there in spades, making him a very prolific performer.
A testament to how good this guy was is that he had no shortage of people offering to buy him drinks both during and after his set.
If you get a chance, see James play as soon as possible as it won't be too long before he's picked up by a record label." - Wiltshire Ocelot, July 2008.
