Flanders & Swan
Flanders & Swann Revisited Flanders and Swann wrote over eighty comic songs. This performance will take another look at some old favourites, such as the Honeysuckle and the Bindweed, Mud Glorious Mud and the Gas Man Cometh. Their songs are characterised by wit, gentle satire, complex rhyming schemes, and memorable choruses. Flanders commented during the recorded performance of At the Drop of Another Hat: "The purpose of satire, it has been rightly said, is to strip off the veneer of comforting illusion and cosy half-truth. And our job, as I see it, is to put it back again" Featuring Gilly Anderson, Jane Barsby, Tony Gregg, Peter Reeves and at the piano Bob Barsby. (109)
