James's father, Jason, was sales director of a company selling waste compactors and baling machines. James married Claire Neate, a music video producer, in April 2003 in Cheltenham. They have five children. The family live near Kingham in Oxfordshire on a 200-acre (0.81 km2) cheese farm; James is considered by the press to be a member of the Chipping Norton set. [43] We’ve always been fascinated by the art of cave-ageing cheese – and the exceptional flavours it creates – so some time ago we asked our expert cheesemakers to explore our home region of North Wales to find the perfect location for cheese maturation. Eventually, they discovered a former slate mine buried 500ft deep, surrounded by the mountains of Snowdonia National Park and the protected Dark Sky Reserve.

This process, which usually takes 30-40 days, is responsible for the intense taste of the cheese. The climate of the Cyclades is also said to play a role, with the milk produced in April and May considered the best for making this cheese. It is produced in small batches across the Cyclades, but also via cottage industries.Caroline Dewar (5 March 2012). "Who's who in the Chipping Norton set". The Daily Telegraph. London .

The 2019 festival took place on 23–25 August. The music line-up included Elbow, Lewis Capaldi, Jess Glyne, Rudimental and Jonas Blue, with chefs including Prue Leith, Mark Hix and Candice Brown. In 1989, James joined Coxon, Albarn and Rowntree's new band, Seymour, which would later be renamed Blur. He has been in the band ever since, although in 2008 he described the days of being a constant band member as "a past-life". [2] Unlike Albarn, Coxon and Rowntree, James has not released any solo material, although he has been involved in other collaborative side projects. In 1998, James formed Fat Les with actor Keith Allen and artist Damien Hirst, releasing the unofficial theme song (excluding three others) " Vindaloo" for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, which reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. He also worked on side project Me Me Me with Stephen Duffy, co-wrote songs for Marianne Faithfull (appearing in drag playing a double bass in the music video for her single "Sex With Strangers") and Jane McDonald, and worked with Florence and the Machine and Gene Loves Jezebel.A year ago, he met Roger Crudge, a local cheese maker of some standing. They were introduced by James's farm manager, Paddy (who has just finished work on Madonna's stables). James wanted to renovate another of the farm's many outhouses. 'But you could spend fifty grand renovating crumbling old buildings but it won't add fifty grand to the property. It's like running a small country, running a farm. It's much more expensive than running around the Groucho or the Ivy. So you've got to be more realistic about a farm. Building a cheese factory made sense.'
