Steve Knightley & The Winter Yards Band

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.
