From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jim Watts (christian name James Watts) was born in Slough, England on the 25th October 1989 to Christopher and Beverly Watts.
For most of his childhood he grew up in the town of Marlborough attending St John's School and Community College. In an interview he stated that "I don't regret going to St John's at all, better than the posh lot down at Marlborough College".
While attending St John's he met Sam Batten, a guitarist from Marlborough. The two quickly became engulfed in each other's lives and music soon caught their eye.
In August 2005 Jim learned to play the drums, and in the September of that year
The band soon hit fame within the local area performing at local pubs and supporting other bands at bigger venues.
After only recording only a few songs, and setting their sights high, Sam decided to pursue a career in Mechanics and focused on dealing with his new wife Danielle.
And for a while Jim settled subbing in for other local bands, but never really felt like it did when his old band was around and playing at concerts.
That was until the June of 2006 where by chance he was invited to a concert where he was a roadie for one of the bands performing for a charity event. And was asked to sub in by the band's members. And to this day Jim says that "playing in that concert was the best night of my life".
After only performing 7 songs, Jim was asked to come along for a try out with the band, and was asked to join as soon as they had begun the try out. It was however a painful moment for Jim when he found out that the drummer he was replacing was his old friend Sam, but it was because Sam had broken his arm in a motorcycle accident and wanted to leave the band.
For the next 2 months the band has spent touring pubs and smaller concerts supporting other bigger bands.
