EMILY MAGUIRE MEDITATION MIND TOUR - an evening of poetry & songs

“Exquisite” - UNCUT
“A class act” - THE MIRROR
“A true artist” - RnR MAGAZINE
“Music for the soul” - MAVERICK MAGAZINE

To celebrate the launch of her third book 'Meditation Mind', acclaimed British artist Emily Maguire is presenting an evening of poetry and acoustic songs at The Big Comfy Bookshop in Coventry on Saturday 24 November.

Singer, songwriter, composer, poet, multi-instrumentalist and mental health advocate, Emily's five albums and two books have established her as truly a talent to be reckoned with. With a remarkable, inspiring story to tell, she has been featured many times on Radio 2 and Radio 4, her thought-provoking lyrics, supremely expressive vocals and spellbinding live performances winning her fans across the globe.

From living in a recycled shack in the Australian bush where she financed her first two albums by making goats cheese, to playing the Royal Albert Hall with Don McLean, Emily’s life has been a rollercoaster. Her first book ‘Start Over Again’ caused a sensation when it was launched on Radio 2 on World Mental Health Day in 2010, a brutally honest and poignant portrayal of her struggles with bipolar disorder.

Described as ‘exhilarating and transformational’ (RnR Magazine), Emily’s songs have the power to uplift, comfort and inspire in equal measure. In November 2018, to celebrate the launch of ‘Meditation Mind’, a new book of poetry inspired by her Buddhist practice, Emily is performing a series of intimate gigs at bookshops and Buddhist centres across the country, reading her poems and singing songs on acoustic guitar accompanied by her husband on double-bass.

Emily will hold a short Q&A following the performance.
