History
After graduating with a degree in drama and applied theatre in 2011, front-woman Fiona, paired up with William and started a band. They were both craving something creative and William was already producing and making records. Woman's Hour got their name from the London female-focused news and culture show on BBC Radio 4. They originally started cataloguing their demos by different Radio 4 programs and the demo name Woman's Hour was adopted as the band's name. They have graphics and monochrome visuals that were curated with TATE Modern and MoMA certified fine artists Oliver Chanarin and Adam Broomberg.

Their debut album, Conversations, was received well by critics, receiving a 10/10 score and the award of Debut Album Of The Year in The Line Of Best Fit for 2014 and 9/10 at Drowned in Sound among others.

In December 2018 the group announced they would be splitting up after the release of their second album Ephyra and a tour of the UK. The band's final show was at the Dome in Tufnell Park, north London on 22 March 2019.
