Simon Bookish + Leafcutter John perform a special set of strange and delicate new versions of the Bookish back catalogue with live electronics.

He has worked with artists including Patrick Wolf, Saint Etienne, Max de Wardener, Franz Ferdinand, Grizzly Bear and Late of the Pier. Leafcutter John creates beautifully delicate electronica, layering sounds (often captured from nature), acoustic instruments and touching vocals. He is also a member of Polar Bear (Mercury Music Prize nominees).
