Brilliant band and beautiful live music, as always.
Great gig: music, tea, biscuit, more music 😎
Had to add badges to my collection to mark the memory 😊

About The Bookshop Band
The Bookshop Band - the offspring of an artistic love-affair between a group of award winning songwriters / composers and an independent bookshop in the UK, Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights, who curate most of the books that inspire the band's songs.
Ben Please & Beth Porter have now worked with hundreds of authors since they began in 2010, and toured all over the world. This year they are releasing their 14th studio album, EMERGE, RETURN, produced by music legend, Pete Townshend (The Who), and with cover art by Stanley Donwood. It is out on June 28th, during Indie Booksellers' Week, and the band will be performing all over the UK. The album features songs inspired by:
The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood
The Book Of Dust: La Belle Sauvage, by Philip Pullman
The Vanishing Hours, by Barney Norris
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
Underland, by Robert Macfarlane
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë & Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
The Diary of a Bookseller, by Shaun Bythell
The High Mountains of Portugal, by Yann Martel
The Orphans of the Carnival, by Carol Birch
