The Band

James Roberts

What do you do:

I am the band's bass player.

Do you have a favourite Up-Lift song?

Yes; it is called Rain.

What would be your dream band?

My ideal band would consist of: Mike Portnoy on the drums, Jon Vangelis playing keyboards, John Petrucci on lead guitar, Billy Sheehan playing the bass, and Steve Walsh singing.

Favourite Film:

I don't have one because there are too many good ones to choose from. A couple of my favourites are: The Abyss, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Blade Runner.
