About the show
“Not just good, but achingly good”
The New York Times
“It’s a modern day Twinkle meets fairytale-land for adults.
You’ll be smitten.”
BBC 6Music / Fresh On The Net
“Really fabulous new music.”
Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
“Intelligent, charming and utterly unique.”
fRoots Magazine
“I am enchanted, such variation and delicacy… such latent power, really great work. It reminded me of my days listening to Sandy Denny and Fairport [Convention] and The Incredible String Band… - a great discovery and inspiration.”
Pete Townshend
Featuring - The Bookshop Band
The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books, and perform them at themed literary evenings held at Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights, in Bath (Independent Bookshop of the Year 2008 / 2011). The collaboration was started as part of a plan to help Mr B’s rejuvenate its traditional ‘author evenings’.
The band would read the forthcoming author’s book in advance and write two songs based upon it, to be performed at the start of the evening. Their performances are inextricably linked to the books themselves, as the members of the band take it in turns to describe where the inspiration for each song came from. The band is made up of two British musician / songwriters, Ben Please, and Beth Porter.
