REILLO
Pronounced 'Raylow'
Reillo are four lads from the Widnes / Liverpool / St. Helens area who play their own compositions. All members have extensive experience playing in bands over the years, Ken even supported Thin Lizzy back in 1972 - so there is some pedigree. The band was formed early in 2023 to perform the original compositions by James, the lead vocalist and lead guitarist. The band would describe their music to be blues-rock with a hint of Dire Straits, The Travelling Wilburys, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. The band have been rehearsing at studios in Liverpool for some months to perfect the songs, and are now ready to take their music to audiences in and around the North West and afar. The band take their name from James' surname - just reversed.
"We hope you enjoy the music & look forward to seeing you out on the road"

JAMES OLLIER
Lead Vocal & Lead Guitar
James has been playing guitar since the age of 14. At age 18, James became the bass player of 'As You Get It', playing live around South West Scotland. James then progressed to lead guitar with the band 'Where's Hector?' and again gained extensive live experience.
James is the heart and soul of Reillo. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, he has been writing original blues-rock music since his early twenties. During the Covid lockdown of 2020, James decided to invest in an 8-track recording desk to professionally record his music. He played all of the instruments on the recordings as well as lead and backing vocals, and published these demos to the internet. At the beginning of 2023, James wanted to take his music to a live audience, and therefor sought out like-minded musicians to achieve this.
