Reviews

'Typically immaculate performances of songs collected by the King's Singers on their global travels, and used as encores. Velvet vocal blending is a given, and mellifluous arrangements' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The King's Singers explore folk songs and melodies of the world in a collection of music from countries far and wide, ranging from Australian folksongs to traditional Brazilian choro (lamentation) music and Hungarian choral pieces. Designed to engage fans from all corners of the globe, people are encouraged to post musical memories, photos and videos onto a specially interactive map: http://kspostcards.com' (The Northern Echo)
A traditional song from the Canadian province of Newfoundland which tells of a young fisherman who travels to Bonavista Bay to do a spot of fishing. Whilst there he meets a young lady called Sally. They smile at each other in church, and one thing leads to another, so that when he returns the following year, she has a little surprise for him.
