<p>Hey folks,</p>
<p>I've got some exciting news to share - I've been selected to play at the UK Americana Fest 2023, and I couldn't be more chuffed.</p>
<p>I'm super stoked for this opportunity to share my music with a wider audience and to share the stage with some of the finest talent in the Americana scene. </p>
<p>As part of the fest, I'll be playing a solo set with a string quartet and it's going be an exciting experience for all of us. Also, I'll be performing as part of my new folk fusion project "Rooftop Assembly" which is a continuation of the Rooftop Sessions concert series I played over lockdown. </p>
<p>I'm really looking forward to this show, and I truly hope you'll enjoy listening to my new songs, some of which have barely been played live. I'd be delighted if you came down to hear them for yourself. </p>
<p>So pencil it in, clear your calendar and prepare for the best night you’ll have in Hackney this year. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>James Riley - Weds 25th January <br>6.10pm @ The Hackney Social </strong></p>
<p><strong>Rooftop Assembly - Weds 25th January <br>10.30pm @ Oslo</strong></p>

<p>Hey everyone! </p>
<p>Some sadly inevitable news yesterday about lockdown in the UK being extended for another month means that several gigs are likely to be wiped off the calendar this summer. HOWEVER!! I'm grateful for the performance opportunities that we still have! <br>Including... </p>
<p>THIS FRIDAY JUNE 18TH @ <br>MAGIC GARDEN PUB, LONDON</p>
<p>I'm actually unreasonably excited for this one! We've been taking every opportunity to practice for this show. It's going to feature my new 5-piece band, and it's going to be the first time I've played out some brand new tunes, written over lockdown, that have never yet seen the light of day. There's still a few tickets available...</p>
<p>Hope you can join us!</p>

What an incredible few nights it was over the past week. I want to thank each and every one of you who came out in Bristol, Brighton and London to make them such fun shows. Me and the band had and absolute BLAST playing for you all. Thanks for being a part of it.</p>
<p>And in the meantime I have another date for your diaries: <a contents="May 16th @ The Green Note" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://newrootsevents.com/2019/03/25/thurs-16-may-james-riley-plus-support/">May 16th @ The Green Note</a> in London's Camden town. A beautiful small venue where I'm going to be bringing my 4-piece set up. "Intimate" is a word that's overused when describing small venues... but it really sums up this room. Small, beautiful, candlelit space with amazing resonance, perfect for listening to songs in. Can't wait for this one.</p>
<p>Advance ticket are available here:</p>
