For the lonely

About Me

Described by the NME as possessing "melancholic, soothing songs of love and redemption", Essex troubadour James Quinn is beginning to inspire a devotional following on the capital's live scene through a series of headlining shows at 93 Feet East, Cargo and The Electro Acoustic Club.

"His fragile and sweepingly romantic melodies are painted onto a background of whiskey and cigarettes leaving James Quinn sitting comfortably alongside artists who a lot of people are taking very seriously."
