Woman's Hour

Woman’s Hour formed in 2010 as a three piece consisting of siblings Fiona and William Burgess on vocals and guitar respectively and Nicolas Graves on bass. Hailing from Kendal, the gateway to the Lake District, all three members grew up together but they only started making music when they moved South to London, a reaction to boredom as much as anything. They set out to make pop songs in arrangements that highlight sparse and dense sounds offset by electronic drums and have evolved into a truly unique live act. Three turned into four as Woman’s Hour were joined by long time friend Josh Hunnisett who provided a new viewpoint, opening up areas of songs that previously wouldn’t have been there and adding a brave, experimental outlook to their sound.

Inspired by Formby’s direction and their return North, Woman’s Hour have created an inimitable snapshot into their lives and ours, as distinct in its meaning as it is in its sound.
