James Henton
Founder & Director
James set up The Live Music Agent in 2010 to help venues and customers find the very best entertainment for their events. From humble beginnings, the company has grown from a local music agency to an international booking agent, finding bands for companies like: Intel, L’Oréal, Mars, Anglo American, Oxford University, London Wasps and Johnson & Johnson.
As the singer/guitarist in The Deps, James has a myriad of first-hand experience performing all over the world. He knows exactly what it takes to make any event run smoothly, and his advice has proven invaluable to hundreds of event organisers, wedding coordinators and party planners.
“I love live music! Nothing else can create the kind of atmosphere that music does. I’ve played guitar all over the world and been lucky enough to perform at some incredible events. Whether it’s an after dinner gig in a world famous museum, a half time show at a football stadium, or a wedding service in a church, having the right music transforms a great occasion to an unforgettable experience.”
James works for The Live Music Agent full time and he’s always available to offer friendly and helpful advice to make sure your party is perfect.
