Working with talented writers as well as musicians. Is such a privilege for a UK Music Promotion Agency like Quite Great. Especially when accompanied by an endearing subject. This is most certainly the case with the new album. ‘Things Found in Books’ from Boo Hewerdine and Yvonne Lyon.
A Project that spans opportunities for Folk Music Promotion. Along with National and Local outreach as well . In Culzean Castle’s second-hand bookshop hangs a notice board. That also collects the store’s greatest stories. Lost and also discarded notes as well as photographs plus old receipts. Through to letters and postcards fragments of people’s lives. That each tell their own tale and even inspire new ones. Such a great story for any Music Promotions Agency.
Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s new album ‘Things Found In Books’. Is an album of songs written in response to this notice board. That celebrates the ordinary lives of those on the Scottish coast. The album is releasing 28/03/25 across both digital and physical forms. Its physical release is being made with extra care. Releasing as a beautiful hardback bespoke CD book. Single out March 14th. Boo Hewerdine is an acclaimed Ivor Novello Award nominated English singer-songwriter. Now living and working in Glasgow.
Eddi Reader enjoyed international success with the (Hewerdine written) hit single “Patience of Angels” in 1995. Boo also produced Reader’s “Sings the Songs of Robert Burns” in 2003. An album also now viewed as a folk classic. Boo Hewerdine is one of the greatest songwriter performers in the business. Yvonne Lyon is among the UK’s brightest and best singer songwriters. Her most recent album Growing Wild is her tenth solo studio release. Yvonne consistently combines poignant lyrics with strong and also creative melodies. Demonstrating a voice that can therefore be both fragile and also intense.
