York band Shed Seven to split

York's famous indie bands, Shed Seven, has announced it's splitting up.

Two of its founding members - drummer Alan Leach and guitarist-keyboard player Joe Johnson - have decided to take an indefinite break.

BUT it will be AFTER the four summer gigs they're already got lined up.

The statement in full reads:

We are sorry to announce that for personal reasons both Alan and Joe have decided to take an indefinite break from Shed Seven following our upcoming festival dates.

We remain good friends and respect their decisions. We would like to thank them both for the many years they have spent playing with the band and wish them all the best.

Rick, Paul and Tom remain fully committed to Shed Seven and Shedcember 2021 and are looking forward to rehearsals, taking the show on the road and then seeing what lies beyond….

We will let you know who will be joining us on the forthcoming tour very soon.

Thanks, Shed Seven
