By 1967, he was one of East Kent's outstanding Blues harmonica players and a regular feature at Folk clubs all over the area. In 1968, James sat in with Peter Green's original Fleetwood Mac, at Folkestone's Leas Cliff Hall, and a year later with Alexis Korner. In 1987, he won the World Harmonica Championships and was immediately signed by President Records to make an instrumental solo album. Written and produced by ace guitarist and producer, Ray Fenwick, it features the talents of drummer, Cozy Powell and pedal steel guitarist, B J Cole. The album, "Southern Region Breakdown" won enormous critical acclaim, a lot of airplay, and was compared favourably with the best of Charlie McCoy's solo recordings.
