James McKay is welcomed back to Newcastle. James started writing and performing in his late 20s and was one of the founders of Homecooking an exciting open-mic cabaret night that started out in someones living room and still pops up in unusual venues across the North. James traces his roots back to a "classical beatnik" aesthetic nutured in his student days studying the classics by day and Ginsberg and Frelinghetti by night. James brought performance poetry with a new look at classical poetry to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012.
