Jack, Jill and all their Friends

Search: Frog He Would A Wooing Go
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 01, 2008
The choice of songs is comprehensive, with a few exquisite and unusual treasures thrown in from the English folk tradition. For once, with a 'children's song tape', the instrumental settings depart from standard-issue radio 2 soft pop. Medieval instruments and skilled playing do wonders for tired nursery classics and folk stuff alike, but...the lead singer's delivery makes Julie Andrews seem laid back; so much so that you welcome the less pure-of-voice blokes when they are allowed to do the occasional number. My 2 year old daughter doesn't seem to mind though, and there's something to be said for such crystal-clear singing: she's been humming even the complex melodies perfectly since Christmas, and is now going for the words.

Old English Nursery Rhymes [CASSETTE]

Search: Frog He Would A Wooing Go
by: Broadside Band

Release Date September 01, 1996
These are the songs that Grandma used to sing - and how she herself would like to have sung them. The songs are beautifully sung with charm, and not condescendingly like songs-to-children.

The instrumental accompaniment is traditional and imaginative, and the whole is a joy from beginning to end.

This recording is also available on CD direct from the Broadside Band, see www.broadsideband.co.uk.
