The Declining Winter with support from Pefkin

Event information

The Declining Winter return to Bishops' House for another full band outing. Last time around this was a very special night and it remains our fastest selling gig.

Yorkshire-based The Declining Winter are the long-running project led by Richard Adams, the co-founder of the Domino Records group Hood. They are purveyors of a unique form of pastoral post-rock taking in influences from lo-fi, electronica and jazz with a strong visual aesthetic inspired by the countryside of Yorkshire and beyond. Their latest album the stripped-back and sorrowful Last April was universally praised as was its predecessor Really Early, Really Late with both records drawing comparisons to the likes of Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis. Live appearances are increasingly rare although the band have previously shared stages with the likes of The Durutti Column, Mogwai and Stars of the Lid.


“Impressively emulates Mark Hollis’ Godly solo work with a jazz and folk-tinged post-rock beauty” Boomkat

With support from Pefkin

Gayle Brogan performs solo under the name Pefkin, creating slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw heavily on the landscape and natural world, using processed violin / viola, electronics, voice and field recordings. She has released albums internationally on labels such as Morc, Wild Silence, Nite Hive, Folklore Tapes and Sonido Polifonico. She is also one half of innovative folk duo Burd Ellen, a third of psychedelic electric folk trio Meadowsilver, and has collaborated with cult Irish singer-songwriter Alison O'Donnell and modular synth composer Jonathan Sharp.
