The Bookshop Band are the musical offspring of a love-affair between award winning folk songwriters and an indie bookshop in the UK, Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights. The songs are the musical outpouring of the band’s own response to books they have read. Representing a fascinating and contemporary take on the English folk tradition, Beth Porter and Ben Please bring a multitude of instruments to the stage, including cello, harmonium, glockenspiel, guitars and ukuleles which, along with their distinct voices, create a cinematic sound and a highly intimate performance.A selection of their CDs will be available for purchase on the night of the event.
