Post Description

Folk en nog meer met een vette knipoog en vrij plat Engels. Ik kende de groep al vele jaren, maar dit verraste me wel. Het verhaal van De Kleine Bij, erg leuk.

Released on 1st December 2022, The Fascinating Adventures Of Little Bee is a collection of original stories and songs for kids, created by folk singer Beans on Toast, with a nurse and a teacher – Jaime and Lily Adamsfield. Aimed at 2-10 year olds, the series takes us into the world of the character Little Bee. Presenting ten unique rhyming adventures, each will invite you on a journey to exotic new places, from the sea to the city, the woods to other worlds, into space and back in time.
Each of the ten books arrives with its own perfectly paired song, written and performed by Beans. 

From the slick R’n’B stylings of ‘To The City’, the dancefloor-ready disco of ‘To The Rainbow’, the futuristic synth-pop of ‘To Space’, to the rollicking rockabilly of ‘To The Woods’; there’s a song to suit every story. Recorded at Durham Sound Studios with Kitty & Lewis Durham (of Kitty, Daisy & Lewis), plus Jack Flanagan (Mystery Jets) and Matt Magic Fingers, the songs will feature on an accompanying The Fascinating Adventures Of Little Bee compilation album (also out 1 December). Speaking about how the ‘Little Bee’ book series and record came to be, Beans On Toast says:

“Since becoming a Dad a few years back, I’ve been fully immersed in kid’s books. I Love them! Especially Julia Donaldson and Oliver Jeffers – Incredible! I feel like kid’s books are very similar to folk songs. They’re simple, to the point, with a message about being kind to the world and its people. When Jaime and Lily (old friends who I wrote THIS song about many moons ago) presented me with a character they had invented, Little Bee, and asked if I had any ideas and what we could do with the character – I said yes  – and this project of children’s stories and songs was born. Completely different from anything I’ve ever done. I wrote the words and made the songs, Lily illustrated them, and the three of us planned where Little Bee would go on their fascinating adventures!”

Learning some all-important lessons along the way, these songs and stories will teach children about patience, poetry, wisdom, community, curiosity and ROCK’N’ROLL!
