Description

The Bookshop Band write original songs inspired by books and have toured hundreds of bookshops all across the UK and Ireland as well as Europe and the U.S (where Mr B was their roadie for the Albuquerque, New Mexico and Durango, Colorado stops on the tour!) They have played at Festival Hall, been commissioned to write songs by cultural institutions, publishers and bookshops including for Philip Pullman, Margaret Atwood, the V&A and the Royal Shakespeare Company. They also wrote the score for the Oscar nominated Robin Robin, and their most recent album was produced by The Who’s Pete Townshend.  

And it all started at Mr B’s Emporium. The Bookshop Band was first conceived at our counter as a collaboration between some brilliant musicians and Mr B’s. This jumbo vinyl collection celebrates the last 16 years of wonderfully bookish song writing from the very best literary band out there!
