So, about a year ago I posted the Booking Bands + Campfires entry and had some excellent responses from my literate and musically inclined friends and family.
In a tip of the hat to the now married Mouy and Ian (w00t!), I thought I’d compile that list and open the floor up again for more more more! Anyone game?
Again, props to Coudal Partners for the inspiration.
Quick rules refresh: Combine the name of a band or musician with the name of a book or vice versa. Coudal’s site bent the rules more than I’ll allow so don’t go bastardizing shite!
