Is that the drunk folk stories book? Just seen it on amazon 

Great book, fantastic story in there too on his recollection of Glastonbury and his yearly ritual of going to the Tiny Tea tent. 

I'm seeing him in Newcastle in Feb which will be a nice little early Glasto warm up.

Love Beans. This will be my funeral song!

Yep, I've loved Beans for a while and bought his book last year at Bestival. I've read it so many times. I wish he would write another one, theres so much in there that I wasnt aware of.

I'm excited for you to read it. I went camping straight after Bestival and literally didn't leave the tent til I'd finished it. He's had such an interesting life.

Love Beans. Genuinely talented, but also humble with a tangible connection to his audience.

I agree he needs a louder voice, though. Greenpeace last year was way too small for him. He deserves bigger at this point.

Also, this never fails to make me misty eyed:

Sod it, can’t wait until Xmas in the hope someone buys me it so I ordered it on amazon and it arrives tomorrow! You did a good job selling his book to me!

Let me know what you think. Honestly I had no idea he was involved in so much prior to becoming Beans.

This is playing down your stalker status a little.

He was on Avalon too. That's where I saw him, have up trying to get anywhere near the Greenpeace stage

[Ayrshire Chris]

the book has arrived!

Anyone heard his first band Jellicoe can't believe it's same person, this seems like a modern day "my generation ", pretty sure John peel played a few songs back in the day

Yep, 3 times. Let yourself go when you see them and you have fun!

think he does Ynot pretty much every year, I remember first time seeing him there with my then girlfriend who didn't get him at all (which is totally understabndable) but god she was horrified that I could enjoy him

I bought a copy for my mate but have given in and started reading it and its bloody lovely so far. He has such a natural writing style so it's an easy, fun read

I can actually hear his voice as I read it. It's just like he's stood on stage telling you a story.

That’s pretty unlikely, an Abba tribute band one year and beans the next?  Can’t see it.  Probably a few gigs, Avalon, left field etc. Back on green peace on Thursday would be nice.  Maybe a park stage appearance? Reckon he would get a decent crowd there.

This is well worth a listen...

Cheers for that, one of those acts that you stumble across once and from then on you actively seek him out every year.  You just listen intently to his lyrics. 

[Fish Bulb]

VERY much recommend giving this a listen👌

Going to see Beans tonight, if i get a chance I'll try and get more info out of him regarding stages he may be playing but looking forward to him nonetheless
