Belle & Sebastian have been making critically acclaimed music since 1996. They have played hundreds of gigs, won a Brit Award, their music has been featured in films such as High Fidelity and Juno and their unsettling, often surreal, songs, delicate melodies and alternative approach to pop stardom has earned them armies of fans all over the world.
IN THE ALL-NIGHT CAFE is founder member Stuart David's charming and evocative account of Belle & Sebastian's early history. A fascinating portrait of the group, it is also a story that will resonate with anyone who has put together (or thought of putting together) a band.
Set against a vivid background of early 90s Glasgow, IN THE ALL-NIGHT CAFE begins with the fortuitous meeting of Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David on a course for unemployed musicians. It tells of their adventures in two early incarnations of Belle & Sebastian and culminates in the recording of the band's much-loved and highly-praised debut album, Tigermilk.
A highly praised novelist and musician, Stuart David brings to life the music and the early days of this most enigmatic and intriguing of bands.
