How long will my order take to arrive?
Your order will usually take less than 14 days to arrive, but when Boo is on tour (especially when he's out of the country)
it may take longer.
There's a problem with my order. What do I do now?
Oh dear, sorry to hear about that. Just email shop@boohewerdine.net with details of the problem, what you ordered, your order
confirmation number (if possible), and it will be dealt with as soon as possible.

Can I sample tracks before I order a CD?
One track from each CD is available to stream or download in 56k MP3 format at the MP3 page. Exclusive tracks are also available
in near-CD 320k MP3 format.
Which CD should I buy first?
Webmaster recommends that you start with the latest,Anon, and work backwards.
I've got all Boo's CDs - what else should I buy?
All of The Bible CDs are worth owning. Again, start with the most recent, Dodo, and work backwards.
Boo's collaboration with Darden Smith, Evidence, is highly recommended. It's available from Compass Records in the USA.
Boo's been increasingly involved with Eddi Reader's albums Eddi Reader, Candyfloss and Medicine, Angels and Electricity
and Simple Soul.
Webmaster's personal pick of the rest would include the albums by Hepburn, Susi Hyldgaard, Nick Kelly,
Monica Starck and Swan Dive.
Where can I buy rare stuff?
The two biggest search engines for out-of-print music are Netsounds and Gemm. Also try the online auction houses; eBay is the
biggest and best.
Will Anon be released in the USA?
There are no plans to release Anon in the USA.
Will Boo tour the USA?
There are no known plans for Boo to tour the USA. Sorry!
Will Baptist Hospital be re-released?
Yes, but the release date is not yet known. Keep checking back - you will hear it here first.
Will Evidence be re-released?
There are no plans to re-release Evidence in the UK. It's available from Compass Records in the USA.
Can I buy Red Flag on CD?
No. Nobody in The Bible likes it and it was dropped early on. There's a near-CD quality file available to download at
the MP3 page.
Will Anticlockwise ever be released?
The Bible actually recorded two unreleased albums, both of which were incomplete. Most tracks from the first were released
as B-sides, and later compiled on CD as the album Random Acts Of Kindness. Very few tracks for the second (Anticlockwise)
were completed and it remains the property of Chrysalis Records (now part of EMI).
So, the answer to the question is no.
How do I pronounce "Hewerdine"?
HEW-er-deen. Not Hoo-ur-dyne.
Is Boo his real name?
No, he was born 'Mark'.

It's a hand-built OM series made by Atkin Guitars of Canterbury, England.
Boo's other guitar is a Gibson J200.
