Single launch for the song ‘New Things’ by Jason Riddell with support from Bobby  Kakouris and Ali Stott.

After a series of releases and shows with acts such as Lisa O’Neill, Withered Hand and  James, @jasonriddell_music took a break and has now begun sharing music again. The  EP ‘Some Grief’, released in late March 2025, and heard on BBC Radio Scotland’s The  Roddy Hart Show, Camglen Radio’s Scots Whay Hae! Show and reviewed in SNACK  mag, will be followed by single ‘New Things’. Jason’s live shows have mainly involved  solo sets, playing recently alongside fellow Glasgow-based musicians including Loup  Havenith, Jack Mellin, Raveloe, Quitter and flinch., this launch at the old hairdresser’s  sees a return to an old haunt with a set combining solo playing and the backing of a  talented band.

Support comes from the wonderful @bobbykakouris, a neuroqueer singer-songwriter and  producer making something of a gigging return too, which is very welcome news. And  @alistott – beautifully combining folk storytelling with explorative harmony, having  released the Rorsarch EP in February of 2025 and a further single this May.

“…more than likely something that needs to be seen live” Andy Reilly (review of ‘Hell  Yeah’, Jason Riddell)
