 Living Tradition CD review of Gentle Men
Gentle Men is the name given to a double CD album song suite written by Robb Johnson to the memory of his two grandfathers, survivors of the Great War 1914-19 and performed at the Passendale Peace Concerts in August 1997.
Ably supported by Roy Bailey, Vera Coomans and Koen de Cantor the albums come with a comprehensive set of sleeve notes which outline the biographies of the two grandfathers and also give the words to all the songs.
This is as much a CD in recognition of the number of great sacrifices made by ordinary men and women as a result of wars.
