Press Reviews
A selection of short takes on The Musical Mystery Tour series:
'Splendid musical fun!' The Daily Telegraph
'...
had my kids dancing and singing and asking for repeated plays... Get
it, and have a box of Kleenex standing by: it's the best tonic in a very
long time.' Folk On Tap
'... James and Mayor have the
ability to write songs that appeal to children and to the child within
adults without ever sounding childish. They do not oversimplify things,
but trust their audience to be able to pick up on clever musical
passages and word games in the lyrics.' Rambles
'...
unnerving instrumental ability... ingenious, witty and hypnotic stories
that they put to music... an absolute delight for audiences of all
ages.' Rock 'n' Reel
'... cannot fail to delight either the youngest listener or the most jaded palate... total absence of condescension.' fRoots
'...
outstanding songsmiths and instrumentalists, who oddly enough, have
chosen to work in the arena of children’s music... it takes real skill
to produce such a well-conceived, varied, and superbly performed
collection - but it takes an act of God to appeal to middle-schoolers!' Dirty Linen (USA)
