James Bay - Live in London 2020

Streamed on 16th July at 21.00 BST / 16.00 EDT / 13.00 PST.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your support for my new single, Chew On My Heart. In support of the #SaveOurVenues campaign, I'm going to be performing a live set online for you all. I can't wait to play for you all again so press the notification bell to set your reminder! If you can, please consider using the donation links on this stream to help raise money to save our venues.

Big or small, spending time honing your craft and performing in venues is vital on the journey to becoming a successful touring and recording artist. We must never live in a world where live music venues don’t exist. They are as important for the artist as they are for the countless visitors and of course the dedicated staff that devote themselves to running those rooms like clockwork. Venues offer a joy, an escape and a magic you just don’t experience through a screen or even through a stereo speaker. At all costs, we must save our venues.

This is why James is my ultimate singer and human, He doesn't need a huge production, just his guitar, a dark room with his voice. I feel like I am in the same room with him. Thank you James you are the best!

james always says “let’s see if i remember how this goes” but then always proceeds to sing and play it perfectly

[madatmovies]

My first concert. Never knew it would be on YouTube and in a pandemic.

[cindybogarin]

I want to see him live (in person) bad 🥺

[victoriapohle]

Sleep? Who needs sleep if I can watch James Bay?

[whilewild]

James! One of the best artist I’ve ever heard. He deserve so much!!! His voice has something special and you feel that he is singing with his heart ❤️ I love that. I wish I could make a song with him one day 🙏

[anikawagner]

This space. His voice. New songs.
Incredible.

[MiMioO]

I knew one or two songs when I came here.
Now I need to listen to the whole discography and everything this man has ever put out

[yiyiluki]

I saw him in Madrid about 4 or 5 years ago and he didn't drink water at all during the whole concert. Glad to see him sipping a bit here! Stay hydrated James! 💖

3 years and this is still my favorite video

[doris]

I love you James. I've never been able to go to a live concert, I don't have money for that, and you are giving me the oportunity to attend one of yours, even though it's online. I'm so grateful for that. You are incredibly talented and one of my favorite artists.

[caroldoocy]

'Right Now' is definitely a winner--his voice is GORGEOUS! ('One Life' is fab too!)

[michelledavison]

Such a beautiful untouched voice true talent could listen to him all day must be so hard to play to an empty room without the atmosphere but so good what a treat

[shannonflahertycardo]

absolutely love this guy. he's the definition of an artist. he literally made everyone feel like they were personally in that room as he was talking and performing straight to them. then there's the insane quality of his writing, playing and singing to boot. Must respect and I hope to see you live in person some day.

[anastasiazaripova]

"One life" is such an amazing song! Listening over and over again. Bringing tears in my eyes...Can't wait to add it to my playlist!

[grossofran]

Watching this in 2022, makes me realize how far we've got after the pandemic. We the musicians had to endure some realy tough times (and everybody too), and seeing James doing this absolute demonstration of resilience and passion, love for music is deeply touching and inspiring. Thanks for this James, it's a true work of art & love. Thanks.

[jeanettewilcock]

Brilliant artist im in my 50s and think he's amazing and rewatching concerts really cheer me up in this pandemic might get to one of his concerts one day

[AnderDoUrden]

All of this is amazing but this version of Chew on My Heart is UNBELIEVABLE

[jorgeluna]

I lasted 3 months creating a "good song" and there he comes with 3 incredible songs in 1 week. He is who I wanna become in some years! 🙏
