James Bourne

Musician and Songwriter

“Supporting local amateur dramatic theatre and the arts in general is crucial for nurturing new talent and giving new people the experience and confidence to move into professional productions on an international level. I am most recognised from my band Busted but not many people know my career started in theatre when I was 11 years old in a production of ‘Oliver’ at The London Palladium, starring Jonathan Pryce and directed by Sam Mendes. Just one year prior to this I was doing local amateur theatre in Southend-on-Sea.”
