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.
