Born in Liverpool 11/11/1955
James has been on the live music circuit for many years. He has played all over the UK, India, Australia, South Africa, Holland, Norway and Ireland.

Not enough cheese in the charts!

James was called Tony Ricardo for a very brief period of his career. He then became James Stone and Tony Ricardo put himself into exile due to an overdose of self importance!

James Stone went bouncing ahead and Tony was sadly left behind. But, through all those years James could never get away from his alter ego.

Now in the first half of the new millennium Tony has made a comeback. He realised many years ago that he couldn"t change the world with a love song. But now he’s convinced that he can!

James Stone evolved in the mid eighties and is a continually exciting performer. His show is fast paced with strong vocals, an infusion of cross feels of funk, jazz, reggae, full of soul.

In the studio James plays keyboards, piano, guitar and most of the vocals and harmonies.
