Poet, novelist, songwriter, instrumentalist and singer, Louis de Bernieres has always combined words and music.  In a special evening he performs his own songs alongside his poems.  A natural story-teller, his poems and song lyrics are packed with the same memorable turns of phrase and whimsical flights of imagination as his fiction –  “every [song] a novella in its own right” as described in a Folk/Tumble review.  Playing a variety of instruments – as he says, “making sense of anything with frets and strings, including of course the mandolin” – it promises an evening of richly evocative music-making. 

“…a double album made with relish and passion. Bernières’ voice cuts through darkly arresting vignettes full of evocative lyrics. Powerful stuff…” Mojo Magazine 

The event finishes at approx. 9.45pm, including one interval
