| Comments |
This is a Children's Christmas Musical (with a difference). It was written for the pupils of Fortrose Academy. A spaceman lands in a sleepy village on Christmas Eve - and life is never the same again...
This work is full of memorable songs and tunes.
The small band version was arranged by the composer's son Peter, who also gave it an updated Canadian script. This Canadian version was most enthusiastically received to standing ovations in Prince Edward Island. |
