Things Found in Books

Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s new album Things Found in Books is written in response to a noticeboard in Culzean Castle’s second-hand bookshop, littered with things that have dropped out of books. Letters, notes, photographs, old receipts, postcards, fragments of people’s lives which have been lovingly collected and pinned to a board amongst the bookshelves.

Boo Hewerdine is an acclaimed award-winning English singer-songwriter now living and working in Glasgow. Yvonne Lyon is among the UK’s brightest and best singer-songwriters, combining poignant lyrics with strong, creative melodies.

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.
