68. The Bookshop Band | Bridport Literary Festival | Saturday 14 November 8pm

Join us for an end-of-festival celebration with Beth Porter and Ben Please of The Bookshop Band.

Since they began playing at Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights in Bath, the playful folk duo have released 13 book-inspired albums, collaborating with more than 100 authors including Philip Pullman, Rachel Joyce, Robert Macfarlane and Margaret Attwood, who has described their work as “an inspirationˮ.

Their most recent album, Emerge, Return and an EP of three songs about  the infamous Oz magazine have been produced by Pete Townsend of The Who. They’ll be loosely exploring one of the themes of this year’s festival, our shared folklore.

“Achingly goodˮ, New York Times. “Just delightfulˮ, BBC Radio 2.
