Ep. 1 — The Real World Tapes — The Bookshop Band, 2013: The Setup

In 2013, back when we were a trio, with Poppy Pitt, The Bookshop Band spent two and a half days at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios recording towards our next series of albums. The footage was filmed by Owen Benson, then lost for over a decade. We've finally found it. What you're watching is us playing live; what you're hearing is the finished record. This is one of thirteen parts, which we'll be releasing every Sunday around 6pm until September. Ep. 1: The Setup The band gives us a tour, demonstrating their expert knowledge of music stands, while Marco plugs us in. ▶ Watch the whole series:    • Ep. 1 — The Real World Tapes — The Booksho...   ♡ Patreon subscribers see each episode a week early:   / thebookshopband   📚 The Bookshop Band reunite with Poppy for one night at Mr B's 20th Birthday Concert, Bath, 3 July 2026 —https://mrbsemporium.com/events/2026/... — Ben & Beth ====================== The songs from this film feature in our series of 9 albums that we released in 2016.
