CD plus beautiful 64-page book. In a Culzean Castle second-hand bookshop hangs a notice board that collects the store's greatest stories. Lost and discarded notes, photographs, old receipts, letters, postcards - fragments of people's lives that each tell their own tale and even inspire new ones. 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. 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 Ivor Novello Award nominated English singer-songwriter now living and working in Glasgow. 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, creative melodies demonstrating a voice that can be both fragile and intense. Yvonne Lyon - "Culzean Castle, near Maybole in Ayrshire, Scotland has the most fantastic second-hand bookshop. When I visited, I saw a noticeboard entitled Things Found In Books - all the things found between the pages curated on the wall and not discarded. I took lots of photographs and could feel an album forming right there and then. Seven years later, Boo and I have completed that album. Songs conjured from fragments, momentary glimpses into people's lives and the ordinary and extraordinary things they used to mark their place in a book..the scribbled handwriting, the Post-it note, the photograph, the receipt, the letter and the postcard from a family holiday. The bookshop keepers at Culzean Castle took the time to save and cherish the forgotten lives they found in their books." "One of Britain's most consistently accomplished songwriters" Colin Irvine, BBC Review. "One of the best songwriters we have" Nick Coleman, The Independent on Sunday. "One of the country's finest lyricists" The Birmingham Evening Mail.
