The award-winning Bookshop Band came to life as an artistic collaboration with Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights.
They write and perform songs inspired by books and have released 13 book-inspired albums collaborating with authors, including Philip Pullman, Robert Macfarlane and Margaret Atwood. No previous knowledge of the books is required as the band guides the audience through the stories behind each song’s inspiration.
They have toured extensively around the UK, Europe, Canada and America, and are equally at home in a bookshop or literary festival, an arts centre, in a folk club or on a festival main stage. Their music has received many accolades, including a recent Ivor Novello Nomination. For the last three years The Bookshop Band have been working with Pete Townshend (The Who) on their 14 studio album, due for release in summer 2024.

Much Ado about Jazz with Chris Gumley and Al Gurr at Upton Magna VH last night - absolutely brilliant night. Such fantastically talented musicians!

Excellent venue, interesting choice of films, good choice of refreshments and value for money. Very happy, friendly event. We look forward to coming to Colwall.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Audience feedback - Lingen Village Hall
Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.
Audience feedback - Tasley
The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
