Synopsis

There are all sorts of people, events and sounds that exist in the musical world for which there are no words. We have been sadly bereft of a satisfactory way to describe the contortion of a singer's mouth when reaching for the high notes; the audience member who leaves a concert halfway through the grand finale; or that person who places one finger in their ear and raises their eyes heavenwards when they sing.; Tim Lihoreau neatly solves this problem in The Classic FM Musical Treasury. Having scoured the UK for place names with a musical bent, he has created a charming collection of humorously inventive, musically themed meanings. From choral singing to rock concerts, opera and orchestras, this quirky book will delight music fans everywhere.

Media Reviews
A very funny book - Tony Robinson; 'This book is HILARIOUS and BRILLIANT' - Howard Goodall, composer, author and broadcaster; 'Uproariously random, will leave you guffawing helplessly' - Alexander Armstrong, actor, comedian and presenter; Charming... from the very moment I saw this book I was enchanted ... and soon I'm 20 odd pages along before I realise that my cup of tea has gone cold. Sit back, enjoy and laugh out loud as often as you need to - TheQuietKnitter
