Chapterhouse (band)

The band comprised Andrew Sherriff (b.16 May 1969, Wokingham, England), Stephen Patman (b. 8 November 1968, Windsor, Berkshire, England), Simon Rowe (b. 23 June 1969, Reading, Berkshire), Jon Curtis and Ashley Bates (b. 2 November 1971, Reading). The North American tour had to be postponed due to the Icelandic ash cloud cancelling flights, stranding Patman in Japan. Chapterhouse rescheduled the North American tour for September and October 2010. No plans were made for any other shows and the band ended the brief reunion in 2010. == Post-breakup ==

In 1997, Sherriff started working as a composer/sound designer for an Emmy Award-winning music production company Adelphoi Music. Patman and Bates joined him later in 2001. After more than twenty years, they departed from the company, pursuing their career as freelance composers. Bates also continues being a long-standing member of Tunng. In October 2022, Rowe announced that he would be releasing a solo album, entitled ''Everybody's Thinking''. The album was recorded with the help of all the Chapterhouse members, alongside Ian McCutcheon, Neil Halstead and Hamish Brown. The album was released on 2 March 2023 via Big Potato Records. == Reunion ==

Announced in late September of 2025 by Slide Away Fest, Chapterhouse is slated to reunite for a series of shows in the United States, playing alongside Hum and Nothing in May of 2026. A show has also been added for the venue Whelan's in Dublin for 21 November this year. == Members ==
