Postage
We don't charge a damn thing for postage within the UK. That's Boatwhistle value.
Outside the UK we keep the cost as low as possible. Can't say fairer than that.
Alasdair Roberts, LIBRARY OF AETHERS
From his earliest recordings in the 1990s, it was clear that Alasdair Roberts was not only a powerful performer, but also a profoundly original songwriter. In the years since then, he has honed his craft across a series of albums that comprise a richly idiosyncratic body of work. Distinctive as they are musically, Alasdair’s songs are equally notable for their articulate, poetic and often moving lyrical qualities – now starkly symbolic, now allusively ornate.
This book showcases those qualities, with a selection of lyrics from across Alasdair’s songwriting catalogue. The lyrics are augmented by newly written notes by Alasdair, with original illustrations by Annabel Wright, plus a foreword by the acclaimed poet Robin Robertson, and several appendices of ‘bonus tracks’.
