Excellent set and performance!

William the Conqueror are as inventive a three-piece as you’ll meet in any genre. Superb as usual and a pity they only had 31 minutes as the support to Bright Eyes. Better for being in the more intimate venue of the Project House rather than the O2…. I’ve seen W the C 3 or 4 times and they’re a really tight performing outfit with some great incisive songs, who can rock out in a bluesy Americana borderline celtic stylee given the opportunity. Tho’ of course it meant ticket sales hadn’t been as good as projected which may be down to Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst trying too hard, not to live up to his humanity but to project that he is. He is liable to think he’s grunge’s Leonard Cohen (that’ll be Kurt Cobain, then), but he’s neither. Parts of Bright Eyes set was very good but he got boo’ed for bringing up the right wing nature of the US Supreme Court - he’s not incorrect there but it was a surreal and dampening interlude on a couple of levels & some people (maybe) got the wrong end of the stick; or, maybe, don’t believe he’s being himself. Ho-hum ….. Some think he doth protest too much. No such trouble working out where William the Conqueror are grounded !

Utterly epic! We'd planned a Christmas Market visit across Germany, and had planned to visit Cologne for the day, checked the music scene and found WtC were playing at The Yard Club, part of their European Tour 24! Having heard them on The Jo Willey Show on BBC radio 2 some years ago, we finally got to see them at the Green Door in Brighton after lockdown. They blew us away then. And to see them in Cologne... made our holiday to be able to take my great mate Markus and introduce him to this fabulous music.

First time I saw WTC live, absolutely brilliant show!

I saw William The Conqueror as an opening act in the summer. It quickly became clear that there had to be a reunion. Of course, this was a mandatory event once the date was known. What can I say, they were even better today than the first time. Great evening, great show.

Great set! I have been wanting to see William The Conqueror for several years. It was well worth the wait!

Simply superb.

Great songs. Great guitarist with a brilliant rhythm section.

Amazing as always, Chloe Foy was great as a warm up act too

It was my first time to watch a gig at Rough Trade Bristol and I had fun. It's a nice little venue, as you can see by the photo. Ruarri, Naomi and Harry were on form as usual and treated us to the new album 'Excuse Me While I Vanish'. Great musicians playing great music. An unexpected treat before the tour later this autumn. In case you don't know, William The Conqueror play a sort of bluesy rock with thoughtful lyrics by Ruarri Joseph, often with a cryptic autobiographical basis that makes the songs interesting no matter how many times you listen. The records sometimes feature other musicians, but they tour as a tight 3 piece band. Have a listen.

grupo excelente. el sonido para mejorar.

Fantastic band and played a good number of songs from both albums!
