Just Accord Music introduces
‘Play The Game’
a unique CD of original sporting songs from the Victorian and Edwardian
period.
£8.99 post-free in the USA and overseas
The perfect gift for the sports lover
On its release our CD Play The
Game: Victorian and Edwardian Sporting Songs was given a 4-star
rating by BBC Music Magazine. Described as “enchanting”
by Classic FM, tracks from the CD have since been played on BBC Radios
2 and 3, Classic FM and Talk Sport. In his review of the CD in The
Times, Robert Hands wrote “…the infectious joy of the melodies
and the jolly (in every sense) lyrics give the lie to the notion that
the Victorians never knew how to have fun”.
A 31-page illustrated booklet accompanies the CD with a short article
on the history of sport, a background note on each song, pen-pictures
of the composers and lyricists and the full text of each song.
