Music in the bookshop – Joules the Fox

Music in the bookshop with Joules the Fox

UPPSALA | Sunday 19 Feb at 17.15. Free.

Some years ago, a fox walked into a bookshop – brought song-shaped stories and sang for us!

On Sunday 19th of February she is back in the shop with her new record If Time Is in tow.

Joules the Fox is a singer, songwriter, producer but above all: a wanderer. These last years, she roamed through various countries and crossed continents playing over 200 stages, ships and shops, writing many a song and singing, ah well, all the time.

Always accompanied by Guitar, Harmonizer and Looper, this one-fox-band will take you to places she has been to and been creating – some real, some imaginary.

UPPSALA Sunday 19th February after hours at about 17:15
Free, bring a friend. Voluntary contributions to the artist (bring cash for the passing hat).

Reading Group titles in February 2023

Our reading groups are informal and relaxed occasions where we get together to discuss a chosen novel and enjoy some tea and cake.

Each meeting is a separate event, so there’s no need to commit to an entire semester of reading groups. Sign up for a meeting and join us when you have the time, and the book of the month interests you.

Read more about the different reading groups hosted at our bookshops at bookshop.se/readinggroups
