RHIANNON HOPE

About Rhiannon Hope

Helming from Leeds-via-Liverpool, Rhiannon Hope has quickly found her footing in Yorkshire's grassroots scene, collecting a unique band of multi-instrumentalists along the way. Together, they create textured, jazz-influenced folk soundscapes which act as a bed for Rhiannon's bittersweet experiences of womanhood, identity and the working class.

In the relatively short time the band has been playing together, they have garnered a healthy following in Leeds and beyond, and have released their debut EP, pressed to vinyl as Private Regcords' first physical release, to much acclaim; with BBC radio plays for singles B.B. and Indulge, and the EP being named one of Far Out Magazine's top 15 independent releases of 2025.

Hope & her band also completed a sold out UK headline tour to celebrate the release of the EP, including a date at London's Brixton Windmill along the way. Earlier in the year, Hope joined Gal Go (of King Krule) on the Northern leg of his tour.

2026 will bring the anticipated release of a live favourite single of Rhiannon Hope's, celebrated by a headline show at the Leeds institution of The Brudenell Social Club, with plans for the release of a second EP later in the year.

About the Single

Private Regcords sweetheart and local legend Rhiannon Hope returns to the Brudenell! In celebration of the release of live favourite 'Magpie', featuring the dulcet tones of Joseph Barron's saxophone, the 30th of April will see Rhiannon Hope and her band headline the Brudenell Social Club.

As a single, the almost psychedelic Magpie shows something of a contrast to Hope's acclaimed debut EP All Things Rising and Returning (which was named one of Far Out Magazine's Top 15 Independent Releases of 2025). This isn't to say Hope is departing from her unique and well-loved blend of jazz-influenced folk, rather the new single, expertly produced by Evan J. Martin, seems to show Hope's band showcasing their full potential and flexibility as multi-genre musicians. At just over seven minutes of bliss, Magpie is undeniable proof that the Rhiannon Hope band is not resting on their laurels.

Debut EP: All Things, Rising and Returning

Weaving odes to jazz greats into tales of the working class experience and stitching gentle twangs into accordion hums, All Things, Rising and Returning marked the debut release from Rhiannon Hope in September 2025. The EP nurtures a unique blend of traditional folk and contemporary influences, with Rhiannon looking to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Aldous Harding for sonic guidance. The resulting sound is at once delicate and deliberate, wistful yet soulful, and, perhaps most of all, timeless.

The EP was named one of Far Out Magazine's Top 15 Independent Releases of 2025, with BBC radio plays for singles 'B.B.' and 'Indulge'. It was pressed to vinyl as Private Regcords' first ever physical release.
