Spellbound: A celebration of women’s magic over men by Helsinki bands The Quiet Calls and Half Day Nation, and British author Joel Willans Ever since men painted on cave walls, they’ve been making art out of their feelings for women. Byron and Keats did it with words, Elvis and Lennon did it with music. Now, on 19th October, it’s the turn of Helsinki bands, The Quiet Calls play dreamy tunes about nights out, the mystery of life and the divine beauty of women. Joel Willans’s prize-winning stories feature boys and men trying to win the battle for love with weapons as diverse as prosperity and biscuits. Half Day Nation mixes electro style with a bluesy acoustic sound that will keep you smiling long after the music ends. Together their songs and stories, inspired by sweet love and bitter breakups, boundless suffering and one-sided adoration, promise a spellbinding evening. Join us on the 19th Oct, at the Arkadia International Bookshop, to celebrate the mesmerizingly powerful effect women have had and always will have on the opposite sex. We look forward to seeing you there.
