Pete was instrumental in the story of Creation Records with his bands The Loft and The Weather Prophets.\n\n \n\nSonido Polifonico are delighted to announce the return of Pete Astor t o Bishops’ House after a wonderful sold-out appearance here in 2023. As long-time fans of the Loft and Weather Prophets\, we were over the moon wh en we managed to book him last year to play\, and his performance and stor ies kept a full house entertained across two sets.\n\nHe returns to promot e his new album\, due to be released on Tapete records. Maybe just one set but the songs say it all.\n\n \;\n\n"A lifetime of listening has led me to believe that Pete Astor’s songs would have always found a way to r each an audience. If he’d been a Californian baby boomer\, he’d have e nded up in the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles\, laying down late- night grooves with the Wrecking Crew for a largely-neglected\, slightly gl oomy\, pop album that’d now be worth a fortune. If he’d been born into post-War Britain\, earnest girls in sweaters would’ve fallen in love wi th him\, and his songs\, in Embassy-fogged folk clubs. - Danny Kelly\, NME "\n\n \;\n\n‘A songwriter who never falters and is maybe even gettin g better with age.’ All Music\n\n \;\n\n‘The master of less is mor e’ The Guardian\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nDoors are 7pm with music starti ng at 7.45pm. We recommend getting to the venue in advance of 7:45pm as th e space is intimate and manoeuvring around can be difficult once the gig s tarts. You are welcome to bring your own liquid refreshment as we do not h ave a bar.\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bishopshouse.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2 024/01/11035_image-scaled.jpg LOCATION:Bishops' House\, \, GEO:0.000000;0.000000 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=Bishops' House:geo:0.000000,0.000000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
