LIVE REVIEW GIGSOUP - JAMES + THE SLOW READERS CLUB – CASTLEFIELD BOWL, MANCHESTER, UK (7TH JULY 2017)
Walking onstage to the crowd chanting “READERS”, the local band dived straight in with ‘Start Again’ from their latest album ‘Cavalcade’ and it was easy to see exactly why they’ve received nothing but praise regarding their live sets. The audience were captivated by front man Aaron Starkie’s powerful vocals, with arms aloft as they sang along to each and every track that the band delivered; from the emotive ‘Days Like This Will Break Your Heart’ to the mesmerising ‘Plant the Seed’. The band embark on a headline tour later this year that stops at Manchester’s hauntingly beautiful Albert Hall – be sure to see them in smaller venues whilst you still can!
