!ANNOUNCEMENT!
You may have noticed the radio silence around here…
Rob has decided to leave the band. This means that unfortunately Priestgate has come to an end.
We are so grateful for everyone who supported us along the way - whether that was buying tickets to our shows, spinning a vinyl or showing us to ya nan and her best mates.
Priestgate began as a mess around but soon enough we went on to do things beyond our initial intention.. like fkn Leeds/Reading & Maida Vale 🤯
We’d like to thank @stepmusicmanagement , @luckynumbermusic & @atc_live for all your hard work, for believing in us and backing us right up until the finish line. We were ‘lucky’ 🎲🎶 to have such an amazing team around us.
Hugeeee thanks to all producers, engineers, photographers, promoters, everyone at @prsformusic , @bbcintroducing , @readdork , other artists and more who helped shape us & taught us so so much - you all know who you are.
We have a limited amount of ‘One Shade Darker’ vinyls on our website, once they’re gone they’re gone. Link in bio - don’t miss out…
The four of us are continuing to make music within various projects so keep an ear out.
Until next time,
PRIESTGATE (!!)💞x
Behind the scenes of Priestgate during the writing & recording of ECFTW - May 2021.
We started Pgate 6 or so years ago as a mess around covering Arctic Monkeys and Oasis… which soon turned into travelling up and down the country to play our own songs - visiting places I’d never had a reason to before.
I’m very grateful for the amazing things I’ve done, the places I’ve visited and all the lovely people I’ve met along the way. I’ve learnt so much! Whether you realised or it not, you’ve all helped me come out my shell whilst doing the thing I love.
However, I don’t want to get the violins out in this post (or maybe I will tbf, try something a littleee different) - I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Time to put the child to bed & move onto a new chapter!
Sending all my love to everyone who supported Priestgate, you’re the best xx

(Also big thanks to @luke_hallett_ for sitting thru hours of our silly footage)
!wow! Whatever blew in from the Humber on Saturday night was special, our love for each other is a wind that won’t stop blowing - thanks for reminding us of that. Priestgate forever (!!) 💞x

!woo! We’re letting the engine purr & heading to Scotland for @tenementtrail in October, to celebrate the occasion here is a photo of me holding a photo of me that our favourite Scottish person @rosie.sco took - come watch me give our Zac a Glasgow kiss (!!)💞x
!now then! May god bless the city of Hull & that lovely bridge too, cheers for the love regarding our return - a couple headline shows further up the road wouldn’t hurt now would it (!!)💞x
!we live! We’re gonna be playing our home away from home @humberstreetsesh this August, a world without Priestgate is in the rear view mirror - we ride once more (!!)💞x

We’re happy to introduce you to @velkro_band !
Head over to our page to keep updated with all things to come.
We can’t wait to see you again.
