The Ram Company - Waltzers and Wonders: The Wakes is in Town

This is the CD of the exciting show from The Ram Company, and is a musical journey through the timeless entertainment extravaganza that is the travelling fair.

“The Fairground is Building Up on the green across the way. Come, join us! Try the rides and see the attractions.... Roll a Penny, Toss a Ball, visit the old-fashioned House of Wax with its heroes frozen in time.... Ride the Helter Skelter and Show Your Strength, if you dare! See Sam Taylor the Il’son Giant, Mary Ann the Tattooed Lady and visit Madam Zaza to get your fortune told. Mister Gavioli’s fairground organ will accompany you as you ride Hackett’s Golden Gallopers, before it’s time to Pull Down the fair one more time!”

The music is from the song cycle by Ian Carter, with additional material by John Tams, Sarah Matthews and Gareth Turner.
