Media Reviews
Atkin and James have spent half a century turning the ironically melancholic and the ruefully funny (or is it melancholically ironic and funnily rueful? All permutations of the four, I think) into an art form; Stephen Fry; In these wonderful songs -- timeless and yet so achingly redolent of a time -- the tough, smart, tender elegance of Clive James' intellect and lyricism found its perfect home in the subtle, graceful arms of Pete Atkin's settings;Stuart Maconie
