We're absolutely delighted to welcome Jim Bob back to Louder Than Words Festival!

Jon him in conversation, peppered with some acoustic treats!

‘Where Songs Come From – The Lyrics and Origin Stories of 150 Solo and Carter USM Songs’ is the ninth book from Jim Bob. His third work of music-related non-fiction is published in the autumn. In the book, Jim Bob will attempt to explain where his lyrics come from, how they got here, and maybe even why. The book will include the lyrics to 150 of those songs and unseen images from what Jim Bob has described as his ‘private collection’.

Copies of Jim Bob's books will be available for purchase on the day and his event will be followed by a dedicated book signing.
