Two of the nation’s busiest and most in demand songwriter – guitarists, label mates and musical friends are touring together as a duo for the very first time in 2015.
Scotland’s Kris Drever (Lau) and England’s Boo Hewerdine (The Bible, Eddi Reader) have been connected through song for almost a decade, when Kris approached Boo about recording Harvest Gypsies as part of his debut album. The duo finally found the time in late summer 2014 to write new songs with a view to making recordings available for their 2015 tour.
Boo Hewerdine has an 18 song career retrospective, My Name In The Brackets (The Best of Boo Hewerdine & The Bible), released this autumn whilst Kris Drever has just issued his Shetland recorded, Mareel EP prior to making a new album with Lau for release in summer 2015
