A Big Surprise

The third in the Musical Mystery Tour series: these five albums of original songs and sketches for children (many written for BBC TV and radio) achieve cult status among all who hear them...

'... had my kids dancing and singing and asking for repeated plays. And when the kids were in bed, I snuck another couple of private hearings for myself.
Absolutely flawlessly performed, the singing is deadpan and tuneful and done with immaculate precision, while the instrumental playing on guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo etc, well...words fail me.'
