Public Service Broadcasting

Public Service Broadcasting is a British rock band formed in London by J. Willgoose, Esq., in 2010. They consist of four members known mainly by their stage names: Willgoose Esq. (guitar, banjo, strings, samples and electronics), Wrigglesworth (drums, piano and electronics), JFAbraham (flugelhorn, bass guitar, drums and vibraslap) and Mr B (visuals and set design for live performances). Initially a solo project of J. Willgoose Esq., he released "EP One" in 2009. Shortly thereafter Wrigglesworth joined on drums and the band adopted a conceptual approach, using archival footage from old films and documentaries. They released a second EP The War Room and their first studio album, Inform-Educate-Entertain (2013). They subsequently released The Race for Space in 2015. JFAbraham joined the band officially in 2016, having previously worked as a session musician. The band has since released three albums: Every Valley (2017), Bright Magic (2021) and The Last Flight (2024). The band has toured internationally and in 2015 was announced as a nominee in the Vanguard breakthrough category of the fourth annual Progressive Music Awards, staged by Prog magazine, which they won.
