My old mate Mr Watts is a Sensible, Knowledgeable man. But when he came to me asking if i would like to play on a ‘Bunch Of Nursery Rhyme Tracks with My Mate Kate, I actually thought he’d lost the plot! I mean, why on earth would he want a Loud, Modern twist on Nursery Rhymes? They’re meant to be traditional . . Aren’t they ? ?
How wrong could i have been! On hearing playback of the other fine tracks, i could see that this was really gonna work. So many different styles, sounds, instruments, musicians that have made this double album what is. A fine product that i would personally recommend to anyone with children ready to inspire.
I had the privilege of playing on two songs with my band My Mate Kate. We recorded The Big Ship Sailed On The Ally Ally Oh and What Shall We Do With The Grumpy Pirate, two high energy, in your face tracks. I’m sure i speak on behalf of the band in saying we had an absolutely fantastic time in Comfy Towers as always, and the Beatle’esque touch with the Ludwig Kit, Rickenbacker Guitars and Hofner Bass added and extra sparkle to the session 
Personal Highlights off the album for me are the very smooth Pop Goes The Weasel, The Owl and The Pussycat and how could you not love The Teddy Bears Picninc! We all gotta have some Nursery Rock in our Lives ! ! !
Well done Ian & Mike, Sterling job
