For over twenty years, English singer/songwriters Hilary James and Simon Mayor have been leading the crusade against the saccharine rubbish that often passes for children's music.
Their latest album 'Children's Favourites' features a selection of highlights from their previous CDs, linked by sketches that serve chiefly as a vehicle for wince-inducing puns, jokes and slapstick humour.
James and Mayor are superb vocalists and musicians, playing a bewildering battery of instruments between them -- and no soggy synthesisers, thank heavens. Kids will love deliciously disgusting ditties like 'The Spider In The Shed', complete with appropriately repulsive sound effects, and 'The Slippery Slimy Trout'.
