A simple request for the new @jamesyorkston.bsky.social to be popped on the shop speakers set about a rather lovely chain of events in which we've had 3 successive listens and some visiting US tourists have all since left with a new favourite album ❤️

We had such a lovely, sold-out evening of music from James Yorkston & Nina Persson earlier this week. Their funny stories & brilliant rapport between songs made it extra special. Thanks to all the wonderful people who attended & made it a night to remember.

“Songs For Nina And Johanna” consolida el modo de trabajar que engrandece a @jamesyorkston.bsky.social, sabiendo retirarse para que brillen otras voces –aquí, Nina Persson y Johanna Söderberg–, y al mismo tiempo construir canciones que solo él podría haber escrito.
