Things Found In Books - Boo Hewerdine + Yvonne Lyons
The Water Rats, WC1X 8BZ , [Venue Details]Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s collaboration Things Found in Books
is an album of songs written in response to a notice board in Culzean
Castle’s second-hand bookshop littered with things that have dropped
out of books.
Letters, notes, bacon (yes!), photographs, old receipts, postcards,
fragments of people’s lives which has been lovingly collected and kept
on a board on the wall amongst the bookshelves.
Boo and Yvonne have formed an inimitable songwriting partnership
weaving these ephemeral stories with their own, creating an album full of
nostalgia and beauty, hope and longing.
Boo Hewerdine is an acclaimed award-winning English singer-
songwriter now living and working in Glasgow. Eddi Reader enjoyed
international success with the hit single Patience of Angels (written by
Boo) in 1995.
Yvonne Lyon is among the UK’s brightest and best singer songwriters.
Her most recent album Growing Wild is her tenth sol studio album
release. Yvonne consistently combines poignant lyrics with strong,
creative melodies demonstrating a voice that can be both fragile and
intense. She has guested on to live sessions with Bob Harris on BBC
Radio 2 and recently completed a master’s degree in Songwriting and
Performance from the University of West Scotland.
