about

Bird Radio and Bones & the Aft toured living rooms across the UK in 2016, building a theatre set in each home and performing for crowds of people crammed into kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. We composed an album based on each of the places that we played, inspired the people who let us into their homes and their stories. We recorded the album in London over the winter of 2016 and and John Bently (Bones frontman and mastermind of the Liver & Lights Scriptorium) made a zine using our lyrics and photos from the tour.
