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. Although I am regularly in demand for weddings and lounge piano gigs, etc, writing and performing my own music is my greatest passion in life. If you like what you hear and would like to book me to perform, here are my contact details:

Call 07582475489 or email james@jamestaitmusic.com

I have several professional recordings, that can be heard by clicking on my listen page, but if you would like to help me create more, you can donate to recording costs via this link. If you are kind enough to make a donation, please drop me a message saying which of my many YouTube demos you would like turned into a recording. Click here for my demos.

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.
