(The Bookthieves)
We create songs based on books that have moved us - one way or another. Then the songs come together in a concert.
About the Bookthieves
We are currently 3 families and 3 generations playing together. The instruments are percussion, keyboards, guitars, baseguitar, flutes, banjolele and concertina. All our music and lyrics are created by ourselves and we give concerts on a most irregular basis. Here is the list of books / concerts so far :
1. Of mice and men - John Steinbeck
2. No Pasarán - The spanish civil war - several books and authors
3. Janteloven - Aksel Sandemose
4. Svøm med dem som drukner - Lars Mytting
5. All the beautiful horses - Cormac McCarthy (upcoming concert 23.03.2025)
