Reviews
‘In an ideal world, The Tiger Lillies would represent Britain in the Eurovision song contest.’
The Times★★★★★
‘‘Martyn Jacques is a charismatic focus. Trudging between his piano and accordion like a man weighed down by supernatural dread – yet his voice is a molten cascade. The execution is impeccable throughout. Phenomenal.’
