About the show
Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine's new collaboration, 'Things Found In Books', is an album of songs written in response to a notice board in Culzean Castle's secondhand bookshop.
Notes, photographs, old receipts, letters, postcards and fragments of people's lives had been collected and kept on the board on the wall among the bookshelves.
Forming an inimitable songwriting partnership, Yvonne and Boo weave these ephemeral stories with their own, creating an album full of nostalgia and beauty, hope and longing.
