PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL NOW BE TAKING PLACE IN CABARET FORMAT SEATED AT TABLES

Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s new album Things Found in Books is an album of songs written in response to a notice board 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 has been lovingly collected and kept on a board on the wall amongst the bookshelves.

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.

Boo Hewerdine is an acclaimed award-winning English singer-songwriter now living and working in Glasgow. Eddi Reader enjoyed international success with the hit single Patience of Angels (written by Boo) in 1995.

Yvonne Lyon is among the UK’s brightest and best singer songwriters. Her most recent album Growing Wild is her tenth sol studio album release. Yvonne consistently combines poignant lyrics with strong, creative melodies demonstrating a voice that can be both fragile and intense. She has guested on to live sessions with Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 and recently completed a master’s degree in Songwriting and Performance from the University of West Scotland.
