The Bookshop Band Biography
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.

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë & Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

The High Mountains of Portugal, by Yann Martel
The Orphans of the Carnival, by Carol Birch
