Bee all and end all

The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee
Beans On Toast

 

BEANS ON TOAST, otherwise known as Jay McAllister, with his catchy alt-folk tunes, has carved out for himself a career of a bit of a north-east London folk hero. But now he’s writing songs for a different type of audience.

His latest studio album, The Adventures of Little Bee, is a bit of a unique one. Bringing some new friends on board — nurse Jaime Adamsfield and teacher Lily Adamsfield, and with help from the animated Little Bee — they have written and illustrated a collection of 10 short stories and songs for kids.
