Songs that respond to literature’s dark, sinister and ghostly worlds.

 

“Terrific, ...full of insight, humour and charm.” Joanne Harris

​

“Album of the day” Folk Radio UK 

​

"Uplifting, melodic, poetic, with vocals that shine like a diamond in a rough of rural acoustica this is the type of music that, when it’s done well, is beyond captivating. With this short but succulently sweet song [Thirteen Chairs], The Bookshop Band have nailed it. With aplomb. And love. And sparkly, radiant magic. It’s a modern day Twinkle meets fairytale-land for adults. You’ll be smitten." Derval McCloat, Fresh On The Net / BBC 6 Music.
