It’s competition time here on Gransnet Bristol - with a chance to win a copy of Calico Pie, a delightful introduction to old and new children’s songs from Crispy Juice, a talented Bristol-based family of musicians, writers and artists. Here’s what they say on their website:
“Paul (Father) sings and plays the guitar, Ellen (Mother) runs the office, Uncle Gus records the songs, Grandma Kate knits and checks the spellings. Great Uncle Clem paints the pictures and the children, Lorcan, Naoise, Maire and Roisin, are the quality control board.
Our name Crispy Juice came about when Maire, aged 3, asked for a glass of crispy juice referring to her favourite drink - fresh cold apple juice.”
The Calico Pie collection of songs and poems for families includes a bit of William Shakespeare, William Blake, Edward Lear, Robert Louis Stevenson and Christina Rossetti, alongside the traditional nursery rhymes we know and love. It got a four star rating from the Independent on Sunday, as well as a glowing review from Cerys Matthews on her BBC Radio 6 programme. 
Have a listen to some snippets of the songs on the website and then enter our competition to win a copy.
