Summer recommendations from the team ☀️☀️☀️
School is out for summer! If you’re looking for entertainment this summer, here are some recommendations from the team.
For those looking to entertain kids this summer, for both Luke and Gemma the Yoto player has proven to be a crucial travel companion. Their kids are particularly looking forward to exploring Spy Club, with its unique interactive audio game style. | View on the Yoto website
If you’re a Beatles fan or interested in songwriting, Aimy recommends Ian Leslie’s book John and Paul: A Love Story In Songs. So much has been written about the Beatles over the years, yet the author still manages to make this account seem fresh with his insightful take on the personal and musical context of some of pop music’s most loved songs. | View on Bookshop.org
On a similar note, if you’re looking for creative inspiration, Luke recommends Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act as a good place to start. The legendary music producer has worked with a long list of artists, including Johnny Cash, Adele, and The Strokes, and in this book he shares his many insights into the creative process. It could come in handy for your next brief. | View on Bookshop.org
Jackaby recommends Evenings and Weekends by Oisin McKenna. Set in a heatwave in London in 2019, this beautiful book, although not necessarily lighthearted, is a worthy summer read (contains adult themes!). | View on Bookshop.org
Creative Listening remains open over the summer. So if you’d like to discuss a project, do get in touch.
