Reviews

'An absolute riot for cricket fans, this is quite extraordinary collection of cricket music, including a Village Rondo for piano by Matthew Holst, great-grandfather of Gustav, believe it or not' (Choral Guide)» More

In the Ashes series of 1974/75, the pair of fearsome Australian fast bowlers, Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson blasted asunder England’s batting. Some consolation was forthcoming in this highly original and amusing take on the mayhem by Richard Stilgoe.
