We love our music in this house.
There is always a tune playing on our Alexa in the kitchen,
although most of the times it's children's rhymes and music.
Which, I hate to admit,
can have a bit of nerve racking effect on adults,
especially if you listen to it on loop
{as much as one can like Sleeping Bunnies,
it can get a bit too much after the 18th time}.
So, when David Gibb contacted me
to send us his music and invite us to his concert,
I was pleasantly surprised to discover
that his music was very different from what we are used to.
You see, David Gibb was frustrated
at the lack of high quality music for children,
and set out to create an album aimed at families
with lovely lyrics and quality musicianship at its heart.
This very tall award winning songwriter and storyteller
had his music played on BBC Radios,
performed at Glastonbury Festival,
and played over 400 concerts.
And let me tell you, his music is seriously good.
Inspired by folk music,
the songs themes feature dragons in bedrooms,
dreams about swimming in the sea,
and monkeys swinging in trees.
Lyrics are imaginative and telling stories,
which makes one's mind travel with them.
Melodies are refreshingly high quality ones,
using a wide array of instruments,
and will have you taping along with them.
You can have a listen to his music over on his website
and look out for his concert dates;
his high energy stage presence and lovely music
will delight both kids and grown-ups.
In a nutshell: seriously good music for children
that is actually fun for parents too.
