Children’s music is a notorious allergen for parents, so it’s always refreshing to find some that doesn’t make you want to lock yourself in a soundproof cell. I’ve mentioned the fabulous Al Start before – she teaches singing at Alfie’s school and has created all manner of hilarious shows. Now she’s launched a new site Go Kid Music and is selling three volumes of her Excellent Songs for Children (CD £10.99, download £7.50) featuring quirky illustrations by Chloe Batchelor. Aimed at ages 4-8 (but enjoyed by much younger and older), Al’s songs are suitably silly and, therefor,e hugely entertaining for small people and tuneful and catchy, but not annoying, for big ones. Alfie and Kitty love singing and signing along and there are lyrics to print out on the site (plus bonus backing tracks on the CDs). Great (and eminently postable) Christmas gift for little music lovers.
