It’s been a long time since we hosted a music gig in the bookshop (we participated in the excellent Sofar Sounds music series and have welcomed various jazz combos over the years) and we’re pleased to do it again, this time with talent a little closer to home. Come and enjoy some fantastic music and browse our books for an informal, after-hours event.
