a combination of well-crafted original songs and the stunning quality of his voice – asTony Moore of the renowned Bedford music venue in London said recently: “watching Jim Stapley
is ASTONISHING…..a master-class in song-writing and performance.

As well as touring in the States, Jim’s live performances have included venues such as The Clapham Grand, Camden Barfly, The Elgin, The Selkirk, The Scala, several headlines at The Bedford in Balham, Tonefest in Dorset, the Meadowlands and Hop Farm Festivals, various
Brighton venues, Trinity Arts Centre in Tunbridge Wells and a very successful recent headline at London’s 100 Club
