Boothby Graffoe with special guests Emma Swift and Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock and Emma Swift are the latest in an exciting series of ‘Boothby Graffoe Songs & Stories...’ Zoom shows proudly presented by Liam McKinnon - stay tuned for more to be announced!

Emma Swift is an Australian-born songwriter. A gifted singer inspired by Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull and a plethora of dead poets, her sound is a blend of classic folk and indie rock. In August 2020 she released the critically-acclaimed “Blonde On The Tracks”, a Laurel Canyon inspired reimagining of some of her favourite Bob Dylan tunes on Tiny Ghost Records.

Robyn Hitchcock is a rock and roll surrealist. Born in London in 1953, he describes his songs as "paintings you can listen to". Since founding the art-rock band The Soft Boys in 1976, Hitchcock has recorded more than 20 albums as well as starred in ‘Storefront Hitchcock’ an in concert film recorded in New York and directed by Jonathan Demme. Blending folk and psychedelia with a wry British nihilism, Robyn is a beloved cult figure and musician's musician.

Hitchcock and Swift have been performing a pleasantly inane, lofi weekly music show together on a weekly basis online since the beginning of the pandemic and have managed to not kill each other (yet).
