Now one of Irelands most sought after bands on the corporate business and wedding scene, this five piece from Belfast is currently enjoying the celebrity status wherever they play. Now with a brand new album James Peake has decided to change from his very successful original material to an album of cover versions, which include tracks from Barry White, Neil Diamond, Lionel Richie, Elton John, Jackie Wilson, The Blues Brothers, Ray Charles, James Brown, Englebert Humperdink, Tom Jones, Phil Collins and Elvis.

With musical impersonations of most of the above stars and with his incredible rendition of Pavarotti’s “Nessun Dorma”, lead vocalist James Peake undoubtedly has the biggest vocal range of any artist in Ireland and beyond. Patrons are now requesting James Peake to perform with the brilliant brass sounds of Allister Wallace and Bob Hunt who feature on a number of tracks on the album which is entitled “Pop & Soul Classics”.

The James Peake Xperience have now broken into the Sun Holiday Market and are booked for tours in Portugal from October 2010 and cruising the Mediterranean in November 2010.

I just wanted to drop you a short e-mail to say how absolutely amazing The James Peake Xperience were at our wedding in Carton House, Maynooth. The band were so professional and their performance was just amazing, I loved every minute of it as did my new husband. A lot of our guests commented on how brilliant the band were. One of the major highlights of the entire day for me was your encore – singing “Nessan Dorma” it’s one of my favourite songs and the way you sang it was jaw dropping I certainly was completely blown away. I can’t praise the band enough and I’ll always cherish the memories of the James Peake Xperience.

Please pass on our sincere thanks to “The James Peake Xperience” for a wonderful performance at our wedding in Cabra Castle. Everyone at Michael Magill Entertainments was extremely professional to deal with prior to the wedding and the band was very receptive to our wedding guest’s requests. We really appreciated the manner in which the band performed, they really are very talented and James himself has an amazing voice.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for providing the music at the Mayor’s Civic Ball. “The James Peake Xperience” was outstanding and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Ball was a great success and the proceeds that were raised on the night will be allocated to the Mayor’s chosen charities. Many thanks again for your contribution in making the Civic Ball a successful occasion.
