In 2011 nu-folk hero and Fence Collective member James Yorkston proves that his talent extends beyond music as his tour diaries are published by Faber & Faber/Domino Press.

Presented as a series of tour diaries, It’s Lovely to be Here offers a mix of deadpan humour and wide-eyed wonder whilst mapping out the realities and endless disorientations of life on the road.

By turns poignant, witty and philosophical, James Yorkston’s account becomes an ongoing search for meaning in the lyrics, chords, bars and van window-views of a modern day troubadour. Tonight’s show will be a captivating mixture of excerpts from James’ book and songs from his back catalogue.

“like having a conversation with an old chum sat by the fire nursing a wee dram on a windy night on some slightly desolate Scottish island. My kinda night out!” Rob Da Bank, Radio 1 DJ and Bestival Programmer
