‘The final collaboration, Green Children of Woolpit, was refreshingly playful and bizarre. Jimmy Andrex’s dialogue-rich poem is a tribute to an English folk tale with an Anglo-Saxon feel to it, in which two green-skinned children are discovered outside a medieval Suffolk village, speaking an unknown language. The performance of Amy Bryce’s setting by mezzo-soprano Sarah Lenney, who wore green clothes and make-up for the occasion, was startlingly impressive. She had great range, and a strong dramatic manner’ - Leeds Leider Festival - Bachtrack. https://amybryce.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/The-Green-Children-of-Woolpit.mp3
