Described as a ‘unique and exciting indie voice’ (Shane Dunne - Sigrid), Irish singer-songwriter James Or has shared the stage with Frank Turner, Grant Lee Philips, The Pogues, and more across his career to date.

Praised for the honesty, wit, and authenticity of his songwriting, James OR has built a reputation as an artist who finds meaning in the quirks of everyday life. His debut album All the Beds We’ve Been In captured themes of isolation, resilience, and recovery that resonated deeply in recent years. James’ beautifully melodic, introspective songwriting, drawing from the same wells as compatriot Glen Hansard and Elbow’s Guy Garvey, has been praised for its authenticity, earning him numerous plaudits, including a place on Irish music bible Hotpress’s ‘Ones to Watch’ listings.

‘Ireland has a fine heritage of producing great popstars, and here we have another’.

— Phil Taggart (BBC RADIO 2, SLACKER PODCAST)

‘Powerful’

— Ed Smith (Today FM)

Support comes from Irish-born, London-based songwriter Brian Grogan. Influenced by artists including Damien Rice, Bon Iver and Frightened Rabbit, Brian's music balances intimate songwriting with expansive arrangements. Brian began recording his debut album in December 2025 with London-based producer G Lo. The resulting album brings together a collective of musicians from East London, combining the intimacy of Brian's songwriting with a broader, dynamic band sound.
