SUMMARY:Tom Bright
DESCRIPTION:Tom Bright is a relentlessly touring songwriter whose songs land with emotional weight and unvarnished honesty. 2025 saw him make his third television appearance on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live\, serenade thousands at his fifth Glastonbury Festival\, and sell out shows across the UK and beyond. \nArmed with a guitar signed by Johnny Marr of The Smiths and John Squire of the Stone Roses\, Bright’s tireless graft has seen him hit iconic heights of the London Palladium\, Shepherd’s Bush Empire\, appear on BBC’s The One Show and Sky News\, and record countless live sessions and interviews for BBC Radio 2\, 5 Live\, Radio X and more. Along the way\, he’s shared stages with The Libertines\, Mystery Jets\, Tom Grennan\, Reverend & The Makers\, Katherine Priddy\, Ed Harcourt and others. \nHe has collaborated with The The\, earned continued support from tastemakers Guy Garvey and John Kennedy and spent two years on Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist with ‘If I Met Your Shadow’. \nIn May\, Tom released Young Old Bloke\, a collection of early songs produced by Mick Jones (The Clash) and Dirty White. He has three previous albums in the world — all produced by Ed Harcourt.

SUMMARY:An Evening Of Old Songs Sung By 'Soft Lap'
DESCRIPTION:‘I have fallen so completely in love with this book… just one of the finest\, most covetable things around’ Katherine Rundell \nBest-selling historian and author Amy Jeffs\, musician Natalie Brice and illustrator Gwen Burns have created Old Songs\, a reimagining of ten traditional British ballads. Each artist applied her primary trade: word\, music and image respectively\, but each also influenced the others’ work. \nIn this live performance\, Amy will offer historical insights and readings from the stories\, while Gwen will showcase animations created from the illustrations and Natalie will lead them both in mesmerising sung renditions of the earliest known melodies of the ballads themselves. Old Songs fuses short stories\, histories\, lyrics and illustrations in an enthralling reimagining of traditional folk ballads. Sunday Times Bestselling historian Amy Jeffs and Illustrator Gwen Burns combine forces to create a rich compendium\, singing of travel\, mystery\, magic and the essential urges of humanity. \nFeaturing iterations of fairy tales and sinister descendants of Greek myths and bible stories\, as well as a cast of lesser-known characters with names like Tam Lim\, Child Wynd and Maisery\, Old Songs threads a tapestry of Britain’s landscape\, history and cultures. At the base of hills we can visit to this day\, elf queens kidnap hapless poets and carry them through rivers of blood; and at the foot of a tree whose offspring still stand in the forests of Northumberland\, a girl mimes combing the hairless head of a dragon who was once her brother. \nDr Amy Jeffs is an author\, artist and medievalist. During her PhD in Art History at the University of Cambridge\, she co-convened a project researching medieval badges and pilgrim souvenirs at the British Museum. She then worked in the British Library’s department of Ancient\, Medieval and Early Modern manuscripts. Now a Somerset-based author\, she illustrates her books with print and paper cutout. Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain was published in 2021. It was a Sunday Times bestseller and a Waterstones Book of the Month\, as well as being shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year. Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain was published in 2022. Its audiobook\, illustrated with 7 original songs\, was named Audiobook of the Week by the Guardian and the Times.  \nAmy will be discussing her work with Bookshop manager Paul Armfield on the following night Friday 19th.

SUMMARY:An Evening In The Company of Amy Jeffs
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Amy Jeffs is an author\, artist\, and medievalist whose work delves deeply into the art and culture of the Middle Ages. She completed her PhD in Art History at the University of Cambridge\, where she co-convened a research project on medieval pilgrim souvenirs in collaboration with the British Museum and also worked extensively with the manuscript collection of the British Library. \nNow based in Somerset\, Jeffs brings her scholarship to life through a unique fusion of words and images\, illustrating her own books with linocuts\, wood engravings\, and paper cut-outs. Her debut\, Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain\, became a Sunday Times bestseller\, was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year\, and was named a Times Historical Fiction Book of the Year. \nHer second book\, Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain\, explores ancient conceptions of wilderness through medieval tales of exile\, monsters\, and the natural world. This was followed by Saints: Legends of Heroes\, Humans and Magic\, and most recently Old Songs\, a collection that reimagines fairy tales and reawakens shadowed descendants of Greek myths and biblical stories. Featuring figures such as Tam Lin\, Child Wynd\, and Maisery\, Old Songs weaves a vivid tapestry of Britain’s landscape\, history\, and culture. \nAcross its pages\, elf queens abduct poets at the foot of hills we can still climb today; rivers of blood run beneath their worlds. In a forest of Northumberland\, beneath a tree whose lineage endures\, a girl gently mimes the act of combing a dragon’s bald head—a creature who was once her brother. (The author will be performing these songs with her band ‘Soft Lap’ the previous night also at Medina Bookshop).

SUMMARY:Lucy Lapwing author talk 'Love is a Toad'. Part of the IOW Biosphere Festival
DESCRIPTION:Most of us love nature; it’s a great source of fascination\, comfort and awe. But we’re living in a time of great loss\, witnessing decline of biodiversity all around us. \nIn her talk\, Lucy will explore this two sided coin\, exploring our relationship with the natural world\, along with plenty of nerdy wildlife encounters. \nLove is a Toad \nNature makes us feel things. It sparks awe\, curiosity and a sense of beauty and community. But as wildlife around us declines and disappears\, murkier feelings rise up: guilt\, detachment and fear for nature’s plight. For many years\, Lucy Lapwing wrestled with these tangled emotions. So\, in an attempt to make sense of this dance between joy and grief\, she decided to go on a journey. \nIn Love Is a Toad\, Lucy traverses meadows\, bogs and hedgerows with her fellow nature enthusiasts\, where she digs down into our relationship with the natural world. Over the course of a year\, she meets bucketfuls of wildlife – Blackbird and Oak\, slugs and puffballs\, waterlilies\, Dung Beetles and toads – as she roams across the UK. \nFrom a river swim to wanders through woodlands\, with every journey\, Lucy explores how nature makes us feel\, from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope. At once a celebration and an invitation to reflect\, Love Is a Toad prods and pokes at our connection to the natural world\, exploring its complexity in all its muddiness\, messiness and wonder. \n‘Tender\, connected and considered’ – Chris Packham\n‘Luminous’ – Freya Bromley\n‘Extraordinary’ – Dr Amir Kahn\n‘Uplifting\, defiant\, galvanising’ – Sophie Pavelle\n‘A tender\, rambunctious song of undilutable adoration’ – Amy-Jane Beer

SUMMARY:Slo County Stumblers
DESCRIPTION:The SLO County Stumblers are an energetic American string band based in California’s Central Coast. The band features fiddler Casy Meikle\, guitarist David Baine\, banjo player Daniel Bohlman\, and banjo builder Jerry James on bass. The band formed in 2018 when Meikle returned to California after several years in Middle Tennessee where he became steeped in the region’s musical traditions\, traveling extensively with a variety of Southern string bands and with buckdancer Thomas Maupin. The Stumblers play hard-driving old time fiddle tunes and spirited songs\, heavily influenced by the golden-era string bands of the 1920s and 30s. Their performance is filled with humorous stories and banter and is guaranteed to get feet moving across the dance floor. \nIn the short time since the band’s formation\, the Stumblers have been hard at work\, performing at a variety of folk and bluegrass festivals\, square dances\, oldtime fiddler’s conventions\, as well as hosting the annual Pozo Oldtime Music Gathering. Each member contributes a unique role\, educating and sharing their love of traditional music and craft. \n“The SLO County Stumblers are an explosive and electrifying old-time string band in the purest sense. They knocked me on my ass the first time I heard them. They’ve got it…the ever-elusive “it” that you’ll find in the string bands of old and in a handful of modern string bands that are deeply in love with old-time music. The Stumblers are high-energy\, tight-as-hell\, fun\, driving\, and equally at home with scorching fiddle tunes AND the classic old-time song repertoire. Their soul-stirring vocals\, killer clawhammer\, booming bass\, and ripping rhythm guitar will make you beg these words when you hear them: please don’t stop!!!!” \n–David Bragger\, Old Time Tiki Parlor \n“Old Time is alive and well in the hands of SLO County Stumblers who bring the drive and grit stringband music deserves. They strike the perfect balance of taking the music seriously without taking themselves too seriously. It’s clear they have a rollicking good time playing with each other. Lend your ears a spell and good times will ensue.“ \n-Brad Kolodner\, Folk Alley and Bluegrass Country Radio

SUMMARY:Strange Young Alien - Bid from The Monochrome Set in conversation with acoustic songs
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here  \nFor over four decades\, Bid has crafted lyrics that are witty\, elusive\, and quietly unsettling. If you’ve ever wondered what might inspire a line like “Every night at sleepy time / I hang my skin out on the line\,” this is your chance to explore the answer—or at least venture deeper into the mystery. \nDrawing on his remarkable book Strange Young Alien\, Bid reflects on a life shaped by travel\, music\, and unexpected transformation. Part memoir\, the book traces his childhood in India and the Himalayas\, his adventures within the British music industry\, and the near-fatal aneurysm in 2010 that profoundly altered his brain—and his creative process. In its wake emerged what Bid calls “the Creature\,” an artistic other self that challenges the very idea of authorship. \nExpect intriguing and often darkly amusing stories: the haircut that sparked “Letter from Viola\,” the supermarket worker behind “The Cosmonaut\,” and the unsettling figures linked to “Reach for Your Gun” and “Hello\, Save Me.” Yet the more Bid reveals\, the more his work resists simple explanation. \nAlongside these reflections\, Bid will perform a selection of songs in a stripped-back acoustic setting\, offering a fresh perspective on his distinctive catalogue—where sharp humour meets exotic imagery and a uniquely philosophical edge. \nLong admired by fellow musicians—famously including Johnny Marr and Morrissey—Bid remains one of the most original and enigmatic songwriters to emerge from the UK post-punk era. \nThis is more than a conversation or a reading; it’s an invitation into a creative mind where meaning is fluid\, inspiration is unpredictable\, and the boundary between artist and art begins to blur.

SUMMARY:PETUNIA
DESCRIPTION:Step into an evening of rich storytelling and spellbinding song as the enigmatic singer-songwriter Petunia brings a rare solo performance to Medina Bookshop. \nBlending elements of folk\, country\, ragtime and old-time roots\, Petunia’s music feels both timeless and refreshingly original—like a late-night radio broadcast drifting in from another era. With a voice that can shift from tender and intimate to wild and weathered\, and lyrics full of wit\, longing and unexpected turns\, every song is its own small world. \nExpect tales of love and loss\, strange journeys and beautiful misadventures\, all delivered with charm\, humour and a touch of the surreal. In the cosy\, book-lined setting of Medina Bookshop\, this promises to be a truly immersive and memorable night—part concert\, part storybook\, and wholly unique. \nCome along\, settle in\, and let Petunia carry you somewhere else for a while. \nPetunia is more than just an entertainer\, he’s a modern musical enigma.  Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby\, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction.  This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia.  He’s an adventure seeker\, a poker player\, and a mysterious stranger.  He’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”\, and a man who exists in a different era\, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten.  \nPetunia grew up in rural Quebec\, in exactly the sort of surroundings that a country musician would find idyllic\, with old dilapidated barns\, secret forts\, and acres of unspoiled land.  As an adult\, the wandering spirit took a firm hold on his life\, so he set out on the road\, playing every major street corner across Canada and throughout the NYC subway system\, before graduating to full fledged touring musician.  When he’s not on the road playing shows\, Petunia is also involved in the theatre world; building side projects\, writing scores\, acting\, or collaborating with theatre artists.  He currently resides in Vancouver BC\, and works with several sets of sidemen across Canada\, the US and Europe in addition to his own Vancouver based band\, The Vipers. A restless wanderer\, a musical historian\, and a quirky yet amazing talent\, Petunia is simply a Canadian treasure joining the greats from north of the 49th. \nA poem by Al Mader describing Petunia: \nRazor sharp hombre\nall snake eyes and boxcars\nsteals a kiss from a raven-haired\nflapper – slips out the side window\nof a 1920s speakeasy\nOut fleet foots a flat foot\nhops a train to\nBuddy Bolden’s tombstone\nwins some horseflesh playing\nhigh stud – pitches camp\nbeneath a prairie sky\nwatched over by a full moon\nand a lovesick coyote\nhowling for mercy…
