Two of the UKs best Singer/Songwriters to Appear Locally

Organised by : Wemsfest

WemsFest add to their long list of top artists when Boo Hewerdine and Yvonne Lyon perform at the Old Malthouse, Chidham later in May.

Yvonnes talents are increasingly being recognised and has shared the stage with such luminaries as Patti Griffin, Karine Polwart, Karen Matheson, Luka Bloom and Steve Forbert. Boo released his first album in 1986 as part of The Bible (Graceland, Honey be Good) and later worked with many top performers including Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson, John McCusker, Chris Difford and Eddi Reader - who recorded Boos Joke and Patience of Angels. His songs have been recorded by k d Lang, Paul Young, Kris Drever and Marti Pellow amongst many others.

This duos new album, Things Found in Books, is inspired by a notice board in a second-hand bookshop, where they saw notes, photos, receipts and postcards which had been left in the books. Boo and Yvonnes songwriting and musicianship take these fragments of peoples lives to provide an album of beauty, hope and nostalgia.
