Event information

Wilful Missing first played Ripon in 2011 and 2012 to small but discerning audiences who loved their Classy Alternative Acoustic Folk Rock.
They were the first band that I booked to play at the RAOS Hall, now known as Ripon Arts Hub in November 2017
Wilful Missing have a unique cross-genre, cross-generational, appeal, due to their outstanding musicianship and songcraft. Sam Kipling’s emotionally charged, yet intimate, vocals draw the listener in, and the band’s attention to detail means there is plenty to pick up on with repeated listens.
Multi- instrumentalist band member Sam Lawrence will be familiar to people who saw Gary Stewart’s Graceland homage because of his stunning instrumental contributions.
I liken the music of Wilful Missing to being a musical version of the wonderful TV series The Detectorists, it is quirky, gentle ,and unique.

People who have previously seen Wilful Missing on hearing about their return to Ripon after over 5years have expressed great anticipation and excitement.
The band do not play together very often so this will be a not to be missed event.
Further details about the band can be found on their Facebook page and on You Tube
