In the All-Night Cafe - Stuart David

One afternoon in 1994, I had an idea.￢ﾀﾝ So begins Stuart David's charming, evocative memoir about the indie pop band Belle and Sebastian. Determined to make his living writing stories and songs, Stuart had spent several years scraping by on the dole in his small, industrial hometown. Then he had the fateful idea to learn bass guitar, and to head for Glasgow in search of likeminded artists. In the All-Night Cafe describes his fortuitous meeting with the group's cofounder Stuart Murdoch in a course for unemployed musicians. It tells of their adventures in two early incarnations of Belle and Sebastian and culminates in the recording of their celebrated debut album, Tigermilk. This portrait of the group and its origins will resonate with anyone who has put together￢ﾀﾔor thought of putting together￢ﾀﾔa band. It is a story of a group of friends who wanted to create a different kind of music, and how￢ﾀﾔagainst all expectations￢ﾀﾔthey succeeded. Written with wit, affection, and a novelist's observant eye, In the All-Night Cafe brings to life the early days of this most enigmatic and intriguing of bands.
