Program Notes

These two short songs, A Pair of Limericks, are in a way, an homage to the piquant chansons of Francis Poulenc; with their surface-level mischief and underlying wry wit. Never taken too seriously, this rather cheeky melange of Stephen Fry’s witty words and Louis Mander’s memorable music make a refreshing sorbet to standard programme of song repertoire, or as an encore, or simply for enjoyment at home!
