Roy Guest - Cockney Party

Review by Marzena Matusiak

The album Cockney Party by Roy Guest is a lively and entertaining collection of traditional cockney tunes. From the upbeat opening track "Any Old Iron" to the closing number "Knees Up Mother Brown," the album is a non-stop celebration of the East End spirit.

Guest's vocals are full of character and charm, perfectly suited to the playful and often humorous lyrics of the songs. The arrangements are equally lively, with plenty of brass and percussion to keep the party going.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Lambeth Walk," which is given a fresh and energetic treatment that will have listeners tapping their toes and singing along. Another highlight is "My Old Man Said Follow the Van," which features some great call-and-response vocals and a catchy chorus.

Summary by Marzena Matusiak

Cockney Party is a fun and engaging album that will appeal to fans of traditional British music and anyone looking for a good time. Roy Guest has done a great job of capturing the spirit of the cockney music hall and bringing it to life for a new generation.
