Reviews

This presentation was an hour of charm, surprise and fresh originality in the hands of two very differing artists; professional lutenist and singer Roxana Gundry, (but without any formal madrigals in earshot) and John Platt an actor, singer and entertainer. Between them and their richly varied programme the little captive audience was led through many styles from Shakespeare and Greensleeves through Ogden Nash into the world of musicals without any jarring moments. Roxana showed what versatility the lute has outside its familiar classical territory and John with his distinctive voice showed how enjoyable it is to journey through many styles and tastes.

Anyone seeking a winsome and very fresh programme will surely find a delight to tickle their fancy.
