Our Take

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Well, in the case of DONAT / BURTON / GUINNESS / BETJEMAN's latest offering, "The Gift Of Poetry," they've taken that saying to heart. This album is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of British poetry, with the added bonus of some toe-tapping tunes to boot.

From the moment the opening track, "A Child Ill," kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The combination of spoken word poetry by John Betjeman, accompanied by the smooth melodies of the talented musicians, creates a truly unique listening experience. It's like poetry and music had a love child, and it's a beautiful thing to behold.

Tracks like "On a Portrait of a Deaf Man" and "Pot Pourri from a Surrey Garden" showcase the range of emotions that Betjeman's poetry can evoke, from heart-wrenching sadness to joyful nostalgia. And the musicianship on display here is top-notch, with Donat, Burton, and Guinness weaving a sonic tapestry that perfectly complements Betjeman's words.

In short, "The Gift Of Poetry" is a true gift to music lovers and poetry enthusiasts alike. So do yourself a favour and give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.
