Hayden Thorpe will be stopping by on his bookshop tour to share some songs from his new album, Ness.
Ness is inspired by Orford Ness, a ten-mile long shingle spit on the coast of Suffolk. A former Ministry of Defence site during both World Wars and the Cold War, it was acquired by the National Trust in 1993 and left to re-wild. To this day, it remains a place of paradox, mystery and constant evolution. Using a process of redaction, Thorpe brings the songs to life from the words of pioneering place writer Robert Macfarlane’s book of the same name.
