Flanders & Swann
At The Drop Of A Hippopotamus
Wwith Tim FitzHigham and Duncan Walsh Atkins
After 3 sell out tours, Duncan, Tim, the Hippo and the words and music of Flanders and Swann are back, fresh from headlining at the International Flanders and Swann Festival, playing on Donald Swann's piano and drinking from Michael Flanders' famous Madeira decanter. The boys breathe new life into F&S’s wonderful songs including: The Hippopotamus Song, The Gas Man Cometh, The Gnu Song, Omnibus (or A Transport of Delights), A Song of Patriotic Prejudice and Madeira M'Dear. Flanders and Swann’s own brand of inoffensive, gentle but witty and often satirical humour has stood the test of time, remaining popular with all ages.
