"Leon Berger's remarkably versatile voice with wide compass provides much variety of character and colour from track to track. It is generally for this reason that this disc so successfully holds the listener's attention...Unobtrusive accompaniment is sensitively and competently provided by Selwyn Tillett is a joy to listen to and is always closely married to the voice... The disc is likely to be highly appreciated" 
Raymond Walker (Musicweb)

'An hour of Victorian mirth!'

Delicious songs depicting Pooterish London suburbia with its Victorian pretensions and its petty annoyances.  A world of gas lamps & hansom cabs, seaside holidays & society dances. Funny, quirky and sometimes silly humour that amused our great grandparents, and about situations that are still familiar to us today.
A must for lovers of Gilbert & Sullivan, and the very British talent for Comic Song

George Grossmith has two main claims to fame:  First, he created the chief comic parts in most of the Gilbert & Sullivan.  And second, he was the author, with his brother Weedon, of the comic novel, THE DIARY OF A NOBODY.  But he was also for most of his life a solo entertainer - a one man show with a piano.

Leon Berger, with access to Grossmith's personal collection, presents the songs he wrote & performed.  The programme is a flexible 1 hour length and can be performed as a whole presentation or in two halves; perfect for a dinner, a reception or as part of a Festival.  Leon is always accompanied by a pianist at a piano or keyboard for this programme.
