Boo Hewerdine

Event information

"I've heard Eddi Reader refer to Boo as the best songwriter in England. She should know she has recorded lots of Boo's songs. These new songs support that assertion. There is the futility of young life lost in the trenches to rival Owen or Sassoon, the awareness of the ephemeral nature of our lives and there is love and how it comes and goes. All brilliantly expressed. And he can play the guitar!"
"One of England's truly great songwriter's returns at last with a brand new Limited Edition acoustic mini album. Six great songs, recorded in his Cambridge studio with Neill MacColl (Kathryn Williams). The album showcases Boo's folkier side with its sparse stripped back arrangements and heartfelt lyricism ahead of a full length recording which is due on Navigator in September. These exclusive recordings are not available anywhere else and are sure to be lapped up by his dedicated fanbase."
From the Artist
"Having come from bands where the songs were complicated, I keep trying to get more and more simple," Boo explains. This can be heard in the direct, often unflinching new songs he has been recording this year - "definitely the best bunch I've ever had!"
