The Celestial Café

Stuart Murdoch considers himself to be '26% a rock star'. He may be exaggerating. Few rock stars spend time compiling lists of their favourite mathematicians or buy extra-soft slippers so they don't disturb the neighbours living in the flat below. The Belle and Sebastian singer reveals more of these non-debauched tales of life on the road and back home in his native Glasgow. Murdoch, a born-writer, stares out from metaphorical celestial cafés throughout the world, presenting a unique and engaging take on herb tea, Felt, sunsets, church choirs, John Peel, acupuncture, and, of course, catastrophic waitresses.

Throughout, he runs at life fast and true, reminding us all that an empty minute is a minute wasted.
