“What a privilege to witness the inaugural gig of MrsAckroyd . We were treated to a feast of great singing, expert accompaniment and of course humour both subtle and zany. Alison, Hilary and Chris have a gift of communicating with the audience which guarantees an evening of total enjoyment.

“Not a small hairy mongrel, not a respected record label or a multinational enterprise but a remarkable trio of musicians that will delight and entertain you.
Despite the absence of Les Barker his strange imagination still soars to musical heights through the stunning voices of Alison Younger and Hilary Spencer and the keyboard wizardry of Chris Harvey.
Alison, Hilary and Chris musically recreate the weird and wonderful world of the internationally acclaimed poet, philosopher, photographer and fruitcake and continue to perform the marvellous nonsense that is MRSACKROYD. Funny, witty, thoughtful, emotional - but always brilliant!”
