Liner Notes
Brian Kay is of course well known as a member of the celebrated Kings Singers and as a presenter on BBC Radio 3 and 4. The music: breezy, happy, and fun — easy listening it all is; the range is diverse from Shearing’s jaunty jazz style to part-songs by Vaughan Williams, Pearsall, Sullivan and others.
Brian Kay – Conductor
Harmoniemusik Wind Quartet
M Haynes – Piano
A Lang – Double Bass
Part Songs by E J Moeran
“Ideal for the ironing (for the chaps) or the car stereo (for the ladies). The music and the choir’s singing are no less than excellent” – The Singer
“A CD to chase the blues away” – British Music Society Journal
