Bury’s ELLIOT JAMES REAY has released his debut EP, All This To Say I Love You.
He’s had quite the whirlwind year – his truly sensational debut, ‘I Think They Call This Love’ has amassed over 121 million global streams, earned 1 billion views across 160,000+ TikTok creates, climbed Spotify Viral Charts in over 27 countries, helping Reay build a loyal fanbase of more than 5 million followers.
Influenced from an early age by artists like Roy Orbison and Elvis, Reay now channels that pioneering era of culture into his music. His latest single, ‘Who Knew Dancing Was A Sin’ pays homage musically and visually to the Northern Soul dance scene still thriving in Manchester and now being embraced by a new generation.

Sunday 6th July – Manchester Gorilla [SOLD OUT]
Tuesday 8th July – Birmingham O2 Academy 3 [SOLD OUT]
Thursday 10th July – Bristol Louisiana [SOLD OUT]
Friday 11th July – London Omeara [SOLD OUT]
Elliot James Reay has a genuine, lifelong love for not just the music of the ’50s but the entire era and he has the voice, look, and magnetism to seemingly transport his fans back in time. But a close listen to his intoxicating forays into doo-wop and rockabilly reveals decade-hopping flourishes, knowing nods, and the occasional bent melody or distorted peel of guitar that would’ve caused uproar in Billy Fury’s Day. Instead — and despite those who told him he’d need to change his sound to succeed — Elliot’s grown a huge fan base via modern means, organically amassing millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
