Review by Fran Edwards

You can't cover much of the Lennon and McCarthy song book in 60 minutes, so the trio, Mark Jones,Libby O’Donovan and Melissa Langdon, start by listing the songs they are not going to do!

The minute they start, what is missing is forgotten in favour of what is there! The blend of the voices isamazing and the original arrangements display the exceptional talent on stage. From the whacky versionof “Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da ” to a moving rendition of “She's leaving home”, this production holds theattention.

Not just concentrating on the songs the incredible duo wrote together, we are treated to a lovely versionof “Imagine” by Jones and a cover of “Live and let die” which allows Libby and Melissa to shine.

A must for Lennon and McCarthy fans and lovers of great arrangements.

Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
