Description
(2-CD set for the price of one CD) Strange songs and poems are Les Barker's specialty. The Financial Times praised his work as a ''blend of Edward Lear nonsense, Stanley Unwin wordplay, the surreal inconsequentiality of Reeves and Mortimer and the demotic robustness of Stanley Halloway monologues.'' Here he performs the first and last piece on this 40 track set, and his remaining works are brought to life by Terry Wogan, Mark & Lard, Ned Sherrin, Sir Jimmy Young, Charlotte Green, Johnnie Walker, June Tabor, Peter White, Ken Bruce, Sally Boazman and many others.
