The Voluntary Butler Scheme - At Breakfast, Dinner, Tea

Review by Paul Stephen Gettings

Something odd happens as the lilt of At Breakfast, Dinner, Tea's mini-curio opener 'Breakfast' meets your ears. A gaggle of cliché»

the voluntary butler scheme 'at breakfast, dinner, tea' is the debut album by rob jones, a 23-year old pop prodigy penning songs of classic sound, vivid imagination, and tin-pot ingenuity. rob's studio may, by his own admission, be nothing much - 'just a bedroom full of wires and keyboards' in his native stourbridge in the midlands - but his ambition is by no means stuck in the bedsit. the album moves from bubblegum, call-and-response motown, manufactured in the midlands and as sweet as candy to infectious and charming badly drawn boy esque songs.
