James Hook was an English composer and organist. He was born in Norwich, and by the age of 6 was giving public concerts. After moving to London he worked in various Churches and Music Halls, composing works for both kinds of venues. He worked at the Vauxhall Gardens for fifty years before retiring to Boulogne, where he died in 1827.
