Mesmerising folk rock from The James Riley Band, multi-layered beats from Matthew One Man and a party on the decks with DJ Jamie Moon

London-born, half-American troubadour James Riley treads a fine line between timeless songcraft reminiscent of Sting, John Martyn and Joni Mitchell. His music exudes cinematic storytelling and soulful, modern vibrancy, all conveyed through a disarmingly candid folk voice. Renowned for mustering pin-drop silences in noisy rooms, or coaxing timid audiences into clamorous ovations, James has a distinct knack for building a sense of oneness in a crowd, taking audiences on a rapturous journey with understated yet unshakeable conviction.
After a 2-year writing and recording odyssey in Nashville, James returned to London to release his debut album “Transatlantica” in March 2020. When an entire summer of touring was wiped off the calendar due to COVID-19 lockdown, he garnered national media attention by hosting full-band rooftop concerts live-streamed from his house in Tottenham, North London. The concerts also led to the creation of a critically-acclaimed folk-grime fusion project ‘Rooftop Assembly’.
Recently resuming his musical journey on more conventional stages, James has spent the past couple years playing to audiences at Glastonbury, The Great Escape, and Wilderness and Towersey Festival with his trio, James Patrick Gavin on fiddle, and Tim Fairhall on upright bass.
James spent the early part of 2024 on a writing retreat in Florida, ahead of the release of his sophomore album – slated for the spring of 2026.

Heralded as “mind-blowing” and “awe inspiring”, British artist Matthew One Man creates multi-layered soundscapes through the use of his beloved loop-station and acoustic guitar- that create the illusion of a full band. at the age of 7 Matthew began playing bass and guitar. Matthew’s original sound could be described as experimental soundscape music including original composed pieces such as Omega, Cantonese Love, Electric Eyes Everywhere and Another Word for Light. Through his exploration of musical territories Matthew has expanded his sound and developed a unique take on dance music composing original pieces such as Trowel, Orange and Blue and renditions of My Heart Will Go On and 9pm Til I Come. Matthew has performed at festivals all over the UK and in 2023 will also be performing at Glastonbury, Kendall Calling and Secret Garden Party, as well as venturing into Europe to perform in a number of countries. Strap yourself in for a journey like no other

London-based DJ Jamie Renton mixes up a unique dancefloor-filling musical blend: from roots reggae to Balkan beats, salsa to ska, funk to soca, Afrobeat to the blues. Travelling to all kinds of places and spaces whilst keeping people moving with the good global groove. His sets are always buzzing with energy, guaranteed to shake yer groove thang!
