Jim is currently narrating "A Narrow Sea", a sixty part story of the relationship between Ulster and Scotland - each episode is 5 mins and is downloadable.

Music recording

JB has just recorded vocals for It chokes me the forthcoming single from A Band Called Quinn. This song was featured in Vanishing Point's Beggars Opera in 2009.

King James Bible

Just finished: filming of The King James Bible for A1 Productions with director Norman Stone. James played the part of George Buchanan, James's tutor. It is anticipated that it will be televised next year.

James for the High Jump

JB writes: I will be doing a parachute jump sometime soon (it was originally scheduled for 9th October, but bad weather conditions put paid to that day). I'll be paying for the jump, but I'm doing it on behalf of the Charity Rokpa, all proceeds going directly towards the education of Tibetan orphans. Contributions may be made directly to myself - or go to this JustGiving page.

Whisky Kisses - the critics

Brilliant reviews for this musical both in the Scotsman and in The Times. Joyce McMillan in the Scotsman said:

By ten o'clock, I guess there was not a man, woman or child in the place who didn't feel that they had had their money's worth from this new Right Lines production of Whisky Kisses
Complex and interesting songs by composer James Bryce
Full of humour and theatrical energy
If it were to play off Broadway, I guess Whisky Kisses would probably win exactly the same response, of recognition, laughter, and delight

Meanwhile The Times' Robert Dawson Scott was saying:

A fantastic score by James Bryce, sophisticated, original... with catchy tunes and clever use of the thematic material
Great individual jokes and a terrific cast, led by the lovely Alyth McCormack
Genuinely classy and riotously good fun
