Boo Hewerdine

Ukrainian Community Centre, 14 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh EH7 5AB

For over 30 years Boo Hewerdine has been considered one of the UK's finest singer-songwriters. As lead singer of seminal band, The Bible, through to his subsequent solo work and long-time collaboration with the incredible Eddi Reader he has become something of a national treasure. He is in demand as a writer, producer and performer.

His latest album Before was recorded with supreme Danish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljungren, Boos only collaborator on the set. Whilst this is an album for the times (that echoes the darkness and confusion in Europe surrounding its pre-Brexit conception), Before is also a timely reminder of the power of simplicity, Hewerdines lyricism set to a subtle backdrop of vintage instrumentation.

On this tour he will be singing songs from his new album and his extensive back catalogue. A naturally gifted raconteur his gigs are always a total joy.
