The band includes David Delarre on guitar, John Parker on double bass and Evan Carson on percussion.

The performance will feature songs from The Winter Yards album as well as new material written while touring.

These pieces touch on themes of landscape, community and the changing world around us.

Knightley has made a name for himself in the folk, acoustic and roots music scene.

His work is influenced by a deep appreciation for English traditional folk music, the songs of Bob Dylan and the poetry of Ted Hughes.

He is known for his unique ability to blend historical and contemporary themes in his compositions.

The concert will also feature support from English singer-songwriter Megan Henwood.

Tickets are available for £32.50 and can be purchased by contacting the Anvil Arts box office on 01256 844244 or by visiting anvilarts.org.uk/events/steve-knightley.
