Jim Whitman


Jim Whitman has been enjoying great popularity in the United Kingdom for many years. He has an impressive list of albums to his credit and is a prolific songwriter.

Born in Downpatrick, County Clare, Jim lived most of his life in England where his music career took off. Jim was asked to sing at a club in Warrington, Cheshire one night when the booked artist didn't turn up. Songs he sang included:- The Indian Lovecall, Ann Marie, Only The Heartaches, Rose Marie and Lovesong of The Waterfall. From that night onward Jim never looked back and has always been in big demand.

Jim grew up listening to the sound of the 50's and 60's and was inspired to take up the guitar when he heard the great songs of Elton Britt, Kenny Roberts and the crying steel guitar of Slim Whitman.

Jim's voice has a wide rand and expressiveness which many singers find hard to achieve. He also discovered early on, to his delight, that he could yodel. You don't learn to yodel, it just comes naturally. It then has to be groomed and practiced, tailored to perfection.

Jim certainly has nurtured that sweet, smooth yodel over the years and it is a high spot on his live performances.

Jim holds two Guinness Book of Records 'World Records' for yodelling. The longest yodelling: 30 hours 1 minute (Children in Need) and Fastest Yodel Record: 10 yodel tones in .88 of a second.

With a string of successful albums behind him, scored of full houses wherever he appears, Jim Whitman has certainly earned his place in Country Music history.
