The award winning Bookshop Band write and perform songs inspired by books. Formed in 2010 they released their first album two months later and have since released 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 along with a multitude

their distinct voices, create a cinematic sound that draws the audience right in to a highly intimate performance, at once touching and mesmerizing, heart wrenching and funny.
