Antony Elvin

Antony Elvin is a sort of hirsute troubadour. A kind of lady-liking Noel Coward bard from the Medieval Court of Brideshead. A man who had a 'kimono phase'. One of Antony's best ditties is The Cheese Song, and I was having trouble posting it yesterday. Luckily some fine person has used it as the accompaniment to photographs of some fine cheeses. Do check it out, perhaps because you like ditties, or you like cheese, or you like the word floppity-do.

If you frequent certain corners of London there's a level of inevitability that your paths may cross with Antony Elvin, and lucky for you if you do. He will typically be in the company of a floppy haired man who never seems to get any older, a woman who is a bit like a small British Joan Holloway or a man in a tunic playing the Crum Horn. His latest exploits include playing Crispin Wheatflake to Alice Lowe's Oona Wheatflake in the NSFW duo Hot Brew, which you may or may not get. They're great to watch live, but there is a lot of grated radish to clear up afterwards.
