Stuart David, the co-founder and former bassist of Belle & Sebastian, will release his memoirs, In the All Night Café, early next year. The book, which lends its name from the popular myth that the band formed at an all-night café in Glasgow, will focus only on his first eighteen months in the band. It will also touch on his previous bands, Rhode Island and Lisa Helps the Blind.
