Coffee House Sessions with James McLaren

The Coffee House Sessions are a chance for you to see some of the country’s most exciting and upcoming artists perform at universities across the country, including at the University of London Union (ULU). 30 different universities across the country have taken part in the scheme where artists perform 30-minute acoustic sets at different student spots up and down the country. All of the artists are approved by BBC Radio 1’s ‘Introducing’ presenter Ally McCrae and the project has previously helped with the success of Hudson Taylor, Stephanie Fraser and many more. Last week it was singer/songwriter James McLaren’s turn to perform at the ULU Library bar. James is currently in the middle of performing 25 gigs in 10 days as part of the Coffee House Sessions tour. Chloe Atkins and Phoebe Seston from Smoke Radio caught up with James after his performance. Here's what he had to say:
