Following a hugely successful run of shows, Steve Knightley and the Winter Yards Band return in Autumn 2026.

Blending poetic songwriting with a cinematic acoustic sound, the band’s ‘folk noir’ style 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.

David Delarre (guitar)

“Steve’s songs create a landscape and the band gets to colour it in. It’s a really exciting way to play.”

John Parker (double bass)

“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.”

Evan Carson (percussion)

“What I love about this band is the freedom. We’re not just accompanying the songs — we’re shaping the atmosphere of them.” 

Steve 

“With the Winter Yards Band the songs seem to breathe differently — there’s space, atmosphere and a real sense of discovery every night.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
