About the event

Bill Ryder-Jones (Duo) - Live at Llangollen Fringe Festival

With support from Georgia Ruth.


Bill Ryder-Jones is a singular voice in British music—an acclaimed songwriter composer and producer whose deeply personal sound has earned him critical praise and a devoted following.


Hailing from the Wirral between North Wales and Liverpool Ryder-Jones began his career as guitarist for psychedelic pop outfit The Coral before stepping out on his own. Since then he’s released a string of beautifully crafted solo albums from the orchestral debut If… to the tender introspective A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart and the dreamy lo-fi indie rock of Yawn.


His latest release Iechyd Da (2024) marks a major creative leap—expanding his sonic world with lush string arrangements gospel choirs and reimagined disco textures. It’s a record of quiet triumphs and unflinching honesty described by Uncut as “a record that beckons you over and invites you in… a sonic exchange of love” (9/10).


In recent years Ryder-Jones has also become a sought-after producer for artists including Yard Act Michael Head and Saint Saviour while joining Arctic Monkeys as a touring guitarist. His live performances—whether stripped-back or fully orchestrated—are known for their emotional depth warmth and subtle power.


Following sold-out shows at the Barbican Liverpool Philharmonic and Southbank Centre Ryder-Jones brings his latest work to the intimate surrounds of St. Collen’s Church for a rare and very special performance.


This is a night of raw beauty richly crafted songs and a rare connection between artist and audience.

Georgia’s fourth studio album Cool Head was released in June 2024. Taken its name from a phrase her dad would always use to urge calm thinking the album presents a candid and affecting collection of songs spanning wide-open Americana to 60s-influenced folk ballads. Georgia describes it as a long drive through night into morning. It is co-produced with long-time collaborator Iwan Morgan.
