# “We Left It Unfinished.” — Little Angels Break a Decade of Silence, Admit Walking Away Was a Mistake
**LONDON — For ten years, Little Angels said nothing. Now they’re admitting the truth: they weren’t done.**
The Yorkshire rock band, who dominated the UK’s late-80s and early-90s scene alongside Thunder and The Quireboys, have announced 11 UK shows for autumn 2026—their first live dates in a decade. But this is no nostalgia lap.
“We left it unfinished,” frontman Toby Jepson says plainly. “And walking away? That was a mistake.”
## The Weight of Silence
Little Angels disbanded in 1994 at the height of their powers. *Jam* had just cracked the Top 10. *Young Gods* was certified gold. Then, abruptly, it ended.
“We were exhausted,” Jepson admits. “Touring, pressure, young men who didn’t know how to talk to each other. It was easier to walk than to fix it.”
But “easier” isn’t the same as “right.” Thirty years later, Jepson doesn’t hedge.
“We should have finished what we started. We didn’t. That’s sat with me for a long time.”
## 11 Shows, One Question
The newly announced tour spans the UK from Portsmouth to Glasgow. Tickets are expected to move quickly. But fans are asking a different question than usual.
*Is this about the hits—or something else?*
Jepson’s phrasing—”left it unfinished”—has sparked speculation. In interviews, he’s hinted at unreleased material from the *Jam* and *Young Gods* sessions. A long-buried song. Something they started in 1993 and never completed.
“Let’s just say,” Jepson offers, “there’s music that belongs in this decade. Not as a relic. As a continuation.”
## What Comes Next
The band has made no promises about new recordings. But they haven’t ruled it out either.
Drummer Mark Richardson, who rejoined after decades away, puts it simply: “We’re not here to pretend it’s 1991. We’re here because we owe it to ourselves—and maybe to the people who never stopped asking—to see this through.”
Ten years of silence. One admission of regret. Eleven shows.
And perhaps, finally, a song that waited thirty years to be finished.
*Some reunions are about money. Some are about ego. This one sounds like a band that always knew they left too soon—and decided, at last, to come back and close the door properly.*
