DUBINSKI ‘WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS?
What’s your definition of happiness? Is it acceptance from someone else or of yourself? Is it the feeling that you’re OK with whoever you are at any given time? Maybe it’s the thirst to grow from experience and changes that are on the horizon. Or is it just being able to enjoy being in the moment?These are big questions that, to be addressed with any level of success, need tackling by a special band. Welcome to the new album by Dubinski.A simpler answer to finding happiness could be to just put Dubinski’s album on. In examining the concept of happiness, the brothers have created an album that opens with a synthpop banger about societal injustice, then takes a host of intriguing twists and turns before concluding with the achingly beautiful finale Safety In The Comfort Zone.

BOO HEWERDINE & YVONNE LYON
Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s new album Things Found in Books is an album of songs written in response to a notice board in Culzean Castle’s second-hand bookshop littered with things that have dropped out of books.
Letters, notes, photographs, old receipts, postcards, fragments of people’s lives which has been lovingly collected and kept on a board on the wall amongst the bookshelves.
Boo and Yvonne have formed an inimitable songwriting partnership weaving these ephemeral stories with their own, creating an album full of nostalgia and beauty, hope and longing.
Boo Hewerdine is an acclaimed award-winning English singer-songwriter now living and working in Glasgow. Eddi Reader enjoyed international success with the hit single Patience of Angels (written by Boo) in 1995.
Yvonne Lyon is among the UK’s brightest and best singer songwriters. Her most recent album Growing Wild is her tenth solo studio album release. Yvonne consistently combines poignant lyrics with strong, creative melodies demonstrating a voice that can be both fragile and intense. She has guested on live sessions with Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 and recently completed a master’s degree in Songwriting and Performance from the University of West Scotland.
