Review excerpts

The composer of hit children’s song Banana [sic] in Pyjamas (and nephew of Enid), Carey Blyton proves himself an artful composer in this charming, well performed collection of fishy wind quintets [sic]. ★★★
Rebecca Franks , BBC Music Magazine (January 2017)
Before I had even played any of the music, I realised at once that this was a ‘quality item’. The presentation box, the booklet and the explanatory notes all combine to make it a very attractive publication for potential buyers.
Frank Bayford , composer (private correspondence)
The Shoal of Fishes design is terrific – a lovely presentation and certainly “stands out from the crowd”. Many thanks indeed.
Mary Blyton , composer’s widow (private correspondence)
…the booklet is delightfully littered with coloured drawings of various fish […] and has been beautifully designed…
Gary Higginson , MusicWeb International (December 2016)
The performances, it seems to me, could not be bettered.
Gary Higginson , MusicWeb International (December 2016)
…this disc is the exquisitely colourful fruit of a collaboration between the Carey Blyton Trust and Peter Thompson’s Fand Music Press.
Rob Barnett , MusicWeb International (December 2016)
The music speaks of a salubrious and dignified creative imagination. Carey Blyton knew music’s art and craftsman’s measure and wrote nothing ugly or dull or at odds with art or craft.
Rob Barnett , MusicWeb International (December 2016)
…a deluxe production with an attractive ‘picture disc’ label. There is a 16-page full-colour booklet that includes extensive music notes […] It's an alluring production all-round…
Rob Barnett , MusicWeb International (December 2016)
Love your design!
Michael Ponder , Sound Engineer/Producer (private correspondence)
