Timeline

1961

Mark "Boo" Hewerdine (born 14 February 1961) is an English singer-songwriter and record producer.

1980

His work includes lead singer and creative force behind The Bible, formed in the 1980s, and reformed in 1994, as well as solo recordings and work for film.

He has also produced records by several artists, including a long association with Eddi Reader.

He has been described as "one of Britain's most consistently accomplished songwriters".

Born Mark Hewerdine grew up in North London, before moving to Cambridge while still a child, and as a teenager formed the short-lived band Placebo Thing with a friend.

He worked in the warehouse of Andy's Records in Bury St Edmunds, where he was exposed to a wide range of music.

1983

He joined The Great Divide in 1983, and the band were signed to Cambridge independent label Wimp Records by local entrepreneur David Gowar, and recorded and released their debut single "Who Broke the Love Bank" in 1982.

They were heard by Mike Scott of The Waterboys, who recommended them to Ensign Records, who bought out their contract with Wimp, and they subsequently cut three commercially unsuccessful singles on Ensign.

1985

In 1985 Hewerdine, working once again in a record shop in Cambridge (The Beat Goes On), formed The Bible with jazz drummer Tony Shepherd, later recruiting former Great Divide bandmate Kevin Flanagan.

1986

They released an album of songs in 1986 through the independent Norwich label Backs Records called Walking The Ghost Back Home.

The Bible became a fairly successful independent band, with a cult following spread mostly through word of mouth and live performances.

Two tracks from the first album, "Graceland" and "Mahalia" were released as singles, but failed to bring them commercial success.

The album however was very well received by music pundits, and this brought the band to the attention of Chrysalis Records.

Signing to Chrysalis at the end of 1986, "Graceland" was re-released as a single, and reached number 86 in the UK singles chart.

A new album, the Steve Earle-produced Eureka followed, but failed commercially.

1989

A new version of "Graceland" gave the band their biggest hit (number 51) in 1989.

The album was released in 1989 to critical acclaim.

1990

In 1990, Hewerdine decided to leave the group and pursue solo projects.

At around this time Hewerdine was introduced by a label A&R man to US "new country" singer Darden Smith, and this set him off in a new direction.

Working together, he and Smith wrote the album Evidence in around nine days.

1992

Eventually these were distilled down to produce his debut solo album proper, Ignorance, released in 1992.

Invited by Tori Amos to play support promoting these songs, Hewerdine managed to find a new audience and Ignorance and a single from the album, "History", did relatively well commercially.

As Hewerdine's star rose, he started to write for other artists, among them Eddi Reader, Clive Gregson and Christine Collister.

1993

The Bible reformed in 1993 for a tour the following year and also released an EP of new material (The Dreamlife EP) and an album of b sides and extra's called Random Acts of Kindness.

1994

The band split again in December 1994 and a new album remained unreleased (the title was used for a later compilation), although songs from the album were re-recorded by Hewerdine on his John Wood-produced 1996 album Baptist Hospital, which featured contributions from Eddi Reader and Richard Thompson.

1996

The two went on to tour together in 1996.

Hewerdine also worked on new solo songs, largely based on his earlier traumatic experiences in London.

1999

Thanksgiving followed in 1999, which featured a guest appearance from Martha Wainwright and was described by Allmusic writer Rick Anderson as "sometimes very pretty in a Beatlesque way and sometimes moving", and Anon in 2002.

2001

In 2001 Hewerdine was invited to act as 'songwriter in residence' at the Performing Rights Society's The Song's the Thing concert series in London, also performing at one of the concerts.
