Artist History Bleak House was built and opened in the last days of the year 2001. Its origins lie in another band - Keshco - and music from the House tends towards a more political stance, whilst the songs retain the same air of wit and manic cynicism/optimism. They have a socialism of the heart, to quote the Bard.

Group Members Andrew Brain (vocal/guitar/synth), Caroline Cox (guitar), Robert Follen (drums/vocal), Luke Sample (flute/synth/mandolin)

Instruments only our tongues for our swords... well, and some guitars and other equipment

Location Leicester, Leicestershire/UK - United Kingdom
