***Following a hugely successful run of shows, Steve Knightley and the Winter Yards Band return in Autumn 2026. Best known as co-founder of revered folk phenomenon Show of Hands, Steve Knightley’s latest work blends poetic songwriting with a cinematic acoustic sound, a ‘folk noir’ style which has been winning audiences across the UK.*** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Featuring **David Delarre**, **John Parker** and **Evan Carson**, the show combines songs from the *Winter Yards* album with powerful new material written on the road — stories of landscape, community and the changing world around us. “Steve’s songs create a landscape and the band gets to colour it in. It’s a really exciting way to play.” **David Delarre (guitar)** “There’s a real cinematic quality to the music. It can be very intimate one minute and then suddenly open out into something much bigger.” **John Parker (double bass)** “What I love about this band is the freedom. We’re not just accompanying the songs — we’re shaping the atmosphere of them.” **Evan Carson (percussion)** “With the Winter Yards Band the songs seem to breathe differently — there’s space, atmosphere and a real sense of discovery every night.” **Steve Knightley** ***This event will last for approximately 120 minutes.***
