About this concert
The award winning Bookshop Band came to life as an artistic collaboration with its local bookshop in Bath in 2010. The members of the band write and perform songs inspired by books and have released 13 book-inspired albums, collaborating with over 100 authors including Philip Pullman, Louis de Bernieres and Margaret Atwood. Between them Beth Porter and Ben Please bring the books to the stage together with a multitude of instruments, including cello, harmonium, glockenspiel, guitar and ukulele. No previous knowledge of the books is required as the band guide the audience through the stories behind each song’s inspiration.
The band has toured extensively around the UK, Europe, Canada and America and is equally at home in a bookshop or literary festival, arts centre or folk club, or on a festival main-stage.
Beth has also performed and recorded with Peter Gabriel and The Proclaimers and is part of The Lost Words Spell Songs.
