Win tickets to James’ Coming Home Tour

We caught up with the man himself to find out what makes him tick and what his plans are for the future.

How long have you been singing?

Wow. Since I was very little. I used to sit by the tumble dryer or the hoover and march the sound! It used to drive my mother mad. So you could say I’ve been singing for 35 years... I can’t ever remember a time when I didn’t sing.

If you had to choose would it be music or acting?

Good question. Music is in my blood so not singing isn’t even an option, combining the two is my ideal.

Tell us about a typical day in your life?

It varies. Most days are spent working in my theatre company, which offers classes for children aged six to 18 years old. I spend my time speaking to parents, answering emails and making sure the team are ready for the next class. After that I take some time to go over the lines for a musical I am appearing in soon and then off to perform – my days are busy and I don’t get a lot of free time, but then I am doing what I love so its hardly difficult.

Can you tell us what musical you are preparing for?

Yes, I am currently rehearsing for Titanic the Musical – The opening show coincides with the actual sinking of the ship 100 years ago and is part of the centenary celebrations of 2012 – The show will be produced by the Belfast Operatic Society and I know it will be an amazing and emotional musical to be in, I’m honoured to be a part of it.

James Huish and his Michael Buble Tribute Band will be performing at The Braid Theatre in Ballymena on December 3.
