The Music Of Bagpuss

There was always something special about Bagpuss that pushed it into the public conciousness. It was one of Oliver Postgate's finest moments.

The combination of the timelessness, the whimsey, the good stories and the music. The cd of the songs and music from the show has been a favourite in my household since it was released. Kids who weren't even thought of when the series came out the first time love it as much as those that saw it way back when.

What you might not know is that Sandra Kerr(whose daughter Nancy is playing the festival this year) was the voice of Madeleine whilst John Faulkner was Gabriel, the banjo playing frog. This goes a long way towards explaining the quality of the music.

Long before Bob became the fixer, the mice knew how to mend it and people who know me know where I'll be when this is on.
