When I bought the boxed set (Hat is a different recording to the original - same songs, different jokes) I was delighted to find that I'd correctly remembered every song (I could sing all three albums back to back for you right now)!

Saw them at the Savoy as a lad - NEVER laughed so much in my life as i did at Pee Po Belly Bum Drawers!

Flanders may have been the cleverest ever English lyricist, I think he even tips our Noel, and Swann wrote perfect tunes - and was a fine player to boot.

They loom huge in my life and I'm immensely grateful
