Bill Ryder-Jones

Bill Ryder-Jones is a quietly magnetic figure in British music - a composer of fragile beauty and emotional candour. Emerging from The Coral, he traded jangling indie for introspective solo work steeped in orchestration and melancholy. His songs feel like whispered confessions, blending classical flourishes with lo-fi intimacy. Albums such as “West Kirby County Primary” and “Yawn” reveal a man unafraid to explore vulnerability, grief, and humour in equal measure. Rooted in Merseyside, his music carries a coastal wistfulness—at once nostalgic and searching, like tides that never quite settle.

Join us for a bit of wellness on a Wednesday with this gently flowing mind, body, breath movement practice.

The easiest option for the Class Pass is to book a £50 or £75 GIFT /CLASS PASS and contact me via email (address below) to let me know which dates you can attend so I can reserve your spot. The Jubilee Room is a beautifully quiet, light-filled space which adjoins the church in Shamley Green. There's a separate entrance which is clearly signposted. And there's plenty of free parking in the church car park opposite - take care crossing the road! Any questions please
