James Graham is a young man on a mission. The parish of Assynt in the far north west of Sutherland, where James's home town of Lochinver is situated, was once rich in Gaelic song, and gathering as many of these songs and sharing them with audiences around the world has become James's goal. Winning the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2004 award - not only was James the first Gaelic singer he is also the first male winner.

Although already acclaimed as one of the most important young voices in Gael ic singing, James is determined to keep improving. He plans to take a further year of study at the Gaelic college, Sabhal Mor Ostaig on Skye, and his professional plans include forming a trio with pianist James Ross and piper and step dancer Donald Brown which will enable him to present the three treasures of the Scottish tradition - music, singing and dancing - in one package.
