The tenderest of English songwriters - Nick Coleman, Independent Master songwriter - The Word One of the UKs finest singer songwriters - Classic Rock
Widely regarded as one of the UK’s best singer songwriters, Boo’s legions of fans include radio DJs, music journalists, musicians and other lovers of exquisite songs, beautifully delivered. Sometimes referred to as ‘a musician’s musician’, his songs have been covered by over 50 other artists, including Eddi Reader (who recorded Boo's Ivor Novello Award nominated song Patience of Angels), kd lang, Natalie Imbruglia, Hepburn, Marti Pellow, Swan Dive and Suggs.
The ex-Bible man is nothing short of a revelation - The Sun
HARMONOGRAPH, is a collection of Boo’s recordings of songs that he originally wrote for other people. With over 400 songs to chose from, the inevitable selection process came down to which were Boo’s favourites on the day.
Produced by ex-Bible member Neill MacColl, many of the songs feature unlikely instruments, including glockenspiel, mellotron, Indian harmonium and omnichord.
Harmonograph is full of the simple pleasures good music can bring. - The Daily Telegraph Perfectly crafted songs sung in a deliciously aching voice … - Uncut I challenge you to listen to Harmonograph and not become a Boo disciple. - The Sun If I could write books that sounded like this, I’d be very, very fulfilled. - Nick Hornby Boo takes life’s little moments and rather than blowing them up, points out their importance, sadness and loveliness with the most understated beauty. - Rhythms of Redemption Understated genius from criminally undervalued songwriter-4 Stars. - Uncut Master songwriter turns some of his best material on himself. Give it a week and it’s following you around. - The Word One of the best collections of songs any Englishman will release this year. - Rhythms of Redemption Immaculately crafted, sweet-natured electronic folk-pop. - Classic Rock A beautiful journey that you don’t want to end. - Blowback Mag A quietly gorgeous record full of lyrical, understated and finely crafted songs. Harmonograph showcases his songwriting talent to the full. - MusicOMH Hewerdine is a singer/songwriting god - Shropshire Star Grown-up pop confectionery of a rare quality - Past Archives.co.uk
