We are so looking forward to welcoming Folk legend, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, Steve Knightley to Grayshott for his first visit to us. Steve is best known as a founding member and front man of the Folk/Acoustic band “Show of Hands”. He hails from the West Country and is renowned for crafting songs deeply-rooted in geographical places, merging historical Folk influences with contemporary themes.

Steve is back with his eagerly-anticipated solo tour and bold new show; "Winter Into Spring 2025". Following the phenomenal success of his Autumn 2024 "Winter Yards" album and tour, this brand-new show will take Steve back to the kind of intimate, out-of-the-way venues, where he originally honed his craft.

This tour will feature songs from the critically-acclaimed "Winter Yards" album, described as:
“a deeply atmospheric journey” (Spiral Earth)
and
“a must-have for anyone seeking unforgettable music” (Here Comes the Song).

Known for his “powerful narratives, full of humanity and captivating stage presence” (Rock and Reel), Steve promises an unforgettable evening of music and stories.
