"A talented banjo player, guitarist and singer of vintage skiffle, jazz, country, rock 'n' roll and blues music of the 1920s, 30s, 50s and 60s" with his own band – The Lonesome Travellers
Between now and the new year we have a few more concerts coming up – but first I wish to make you aware of this SPECIAL EVENT for your diaries.
Warren James’ Johnny Cash Songbook is coming for a post Christmas / pre-New Year special in Solihull, West Midlands on Sunday 28 December, 2025 at 12:30pm at: Solihull Jazz, Broomfields Hall, Union Road, Solihull, B91 3DH
Entry is only £10, cash on the door, which will open at 12:00pm – fully licensed bar – snacks and hot drinks available.
This is my theatre show and has sold-out in many theatres around the UK – so it is a special treat which allows us to bring a quality show and music concert to our friends in the midlands, and we are grateful to Solihull Jazz Club for giving us this opportunity.
Warren James’ Johnny Cash Songbook
Solihull Jazz, Broomfields Hall, Solihull Royal British Legion, Union Road, Solihull, B91 3DH
The Johnny Cash Songbook, The Story and Songs behind “The Man in Black”.
Musician and entertainer, Warren James, presents the story and songs of Johnny Cash’s rise to fame as an original member of the Sun Record label, alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison.
Johnny Cash was a member of The Million Dollar Quartet as well as becoming Rock ‘n’ Roll and Country music royalty within his life time. Cash’s lengthy career, spanned 1954 to 2003, saw the release of 91 albums, 170 singles, and 14 chart topping hits.

It will be the 10th year for The Jake Leg Jug Band at Bude Jazz Festival, and it will be Warren James’ 5th year, so that is something nice to celebrate and be very proud of.

We’re almost into the final stages of 2025 and all of us are now finalising our 2026 diaries and starting to take bookings for 2027 – a sure sign that live music continues to have popularity – but it’s not a time to assume support is not still needed because it can only continue when people attend and do the unthinkable and leave the TV behind for a couple of hours.
Having toured The Lonnie Donegan Story as well as The Story of Skiffle around the UK’s Jazz, Blues and general roots music scene for the last 3 years I felt that it was now time to form a band that I could call uniquely, my own!
Rest assured, the above concerts will still be staged at venues who haven’t yet booked them and my Hit Parade Heroes Rock ‘n’ Roll show will still be doing the rounds.
However – The Lonesome Travellers are only a few concerts into existence and bookings are filling for 2026 and 2027 and reviews are very nice indeed – which is really nice for people like us who are keen to perform
Bass: Jim Swinnerton – Claranet / Sax: Alex Clarke – Banjo / Guitar: Warren James – Washboard: Baby Jools

Also this year – Warren James & His Lonesome Travellers launched to a terrific success at the 36th Bude Jazz Festival in the beautiful Cornish region of the United Kingdoms! After firmly establishing his name on the UK jazz and blues scene during the last three and a half years as “our skiffle star” (Jazz Rag) Warren was very keen to demonstrate that he is no one-trick pony and has real command of that banjo!

Forwarded to me by a friend, I do not know Tim Shilton, but I do thank him most sincerely for a fantastic article!
It’s worth noting that we performed at the launch party with my band The Hit Parade Heroes, and we performed with my other band, The Skiffle Heroes, during the evening of Tuesday, 22 July when the sad news was announced
Also, we were but one of 150+ bands at this years festival, but it appears that we have made a positive impact 🙂.
You are receiving this update because you signed up to them at a gig – I hope that we will all meet again soon at a concert this summer – if you no longer want to receive them, then you can unsubscribe at the bottom – but that would be a real shame as live music needs your support NOW more than ever!
You can see below the tour dates for The Jake Leg Jug Band as well as dates for Warren James’ own concerts including those for his Hit Parade Heroes / Skiffle Concerts / Johnny Cash Songbook and his Lonesome Travellers Band.
The Jake Leg Jug Band in Concert at The Chestnut Tree, Worcester – July 2025
It has been a delightful summer so far – although one rainy gig wiped out our sound desk as we discovered that water and electrical equipment don’t mix well… Never the less… Warren is an expert in these matters… He plugged his guitar in to the desk, touched the metal strings on his guitar and declared that he was still alive… SO IT MUST BE SAFE! The show went on!
Please come and join us anywhere that you able, we have listed all dates below, and Warren’s concerts are also among them as he sends out the news letters from his email address on our behalf.
Enjoy your vitamin D as the sun shines down on us all and the music lifts our spirits.

Well it really doesn’t seem like 5 months ago since I wished you all a happy new year and I told you all to wrap up warm – but it has been – and on the road this week we’ve had the sun cream out – proof that we can get a bit of summer here in the United Kingdoms.
In 5 months I have reached my 67th gig of the year, and we’ve barely got started.
The Jake Leg Jug Band have released their live album, whilst Duncan & Warren, from the the band will be launching their debut concert The Great American Folk Songbook at this years Filey Folk Festival as well as LOADS MORE concerts up and down the UK.
