Stan Tracey's Under Milk Wood, Radio 2*

If you get a chance to see one of the special 40th anniversary Under Milk Wood concerts by Stan Tracey and his Quartet...OR if you are near a radio on Monday 2nd May, er, DO IT!!!

Last Friday, the lapwing and I were lucky enough to hear Tracey and band - complete with Bobby Wellins on saxophone - bring to life this amazing album.
If this wasn't wonderful enough then to the right of the band were Philip and Ruth 'Hi-De-Hi' Madoc and the genial Victor Spinetti, who each performed selected passages from the original play. All three actors were amazing.
I'd never been to the Mermaid Theatre in Blackfriars before but the venue's acoustics are fantastic.

STAN TRACEY IS A GENIUS!
