‘The wizard guitarist James Boyd… held us enthralled…’ – The Times, December 2003

Several years agoSEVERAL YEARS AGO I began an intimate acquaintance with the Nocturnal after John Dowland by Benjamin Britten. This masterpiece shaped my career, for it sparked an obsession with English modern and contemporary music and music from the renaissance that has since become the driving force of my musical life. It is a pre-occupation that has given me the fortune to work with some of the world’s leading performers and composers.”
