Despite the disbanding of Omerta, James Ryan and Aaron Starkie continued to jam together and eventually formed The Slow Readers Club.

The band released their self-titled debut album towards the end of 2011, featuring various former Omerta songs, but also three new singles "Feet On Fire", "Sirens" and "Block Out The Sun".

Prior to the release of Cavalcade in April 2015, the band released a series of singles - "Start Again", "Don't Mind" and "I Saw a Ghost" - that gained considerable airplay from such DJs as Steve Lamacq (who played and discussed the track "Don't Mind" on his BBC Radio 6 Music show Roundtable in September 2014)[6] and Chris Hawkins on 6 Music as well as Hattie Pearson on XFM.

[7] There was another sold-out Manchester show at St Philips Church followed by a bigger national tour and dates in Montpellier and Dublin, While writing songs for their third album, they performed at a sold-out David Bowie tribute event at Sound Control in Manchester where they performed an acoustic version of "Life on Mars" to the audience of Bowie fans.

Following on from this, The Slow Readers Club supported James on their Girl At The End Of The World tour in May 2016 personal invitation of Glennie and Saul Davies.

Prior to the tour, the band made their first visit to Ireland and sold out The Workman's Club solely on the basis of word of mouth and the support of local radio station TXFM.

But alongside the likes of Cabbage and Blossoms, The Slow Readers Club are currently one of the most exciting sounds coming out of our fair city.

According to the Lancashire Post, The Slow Readers Club are the band you probably have never heard of, and yet they manage to sell out venues like The Apollo and the Ritz in Manchester.
