James Tait

My name is James Tait and I am a professional pianist, songwriter and composer from Rothbury, Northumberland. Please click here to check out some of my music.

I play lounge piano for wedding breakfasts, restaurants etc, but also love playing guitar and singing for pub/club gigs. To discuss a booking, call 07582475489 or email james@jamestaitmusic.com

I have several professional recordings, that can be heard by clicking on my listen page, or here.

My most recent commissions have included:

• My Bonnie Coquetdale (a song for the Rothbury traditional music festival) “fantastic, James, we knew you’d do us proud, mate“ - Ian Stephenson, musical director of the festival.
• Linden Leaves.
• Walter Mavin- a choral piece for about an historical angler (as of yet unrecorded).
• Christmas Lullaby- recorded by local school choirs combined. “This is beautiful James, and the children sing it so well. Tell them well done. It brought tears to my eyes.” - Kay Evans.

To discuss a quote for a project, either get in touch via the contact page, or the contact details above.

I also offer professional piano accompaniment for exams, or instrumental/vocal performances and recording session work.

As a musician, I am instinctive, creative and versatile.

I also write and perform Northumbrian dialect poetry and have written a children’s story about the famous Duergar of Simonside! Also, if CDs are more your thing, you can treat yourself to some of my recordings, or a book here.
