Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Ben Watt’s father was a working-class Glaswegian jazz musician - a politicized left-wing bandleader and composer - whose heyday in the late 1950s took him into the glittering heart of London’s West End. His mother, Romany, the daughter of a Methodist parson, was a Shakespearean actress who had triplets in her first marriage before becoming a leading showbiz feature writer and columnist in the ’60s and ’70s. They were both divorced and from very different backgrounds, and they came together at a fateful New Year’s Day party in 1957 like colliding trains.

Heartfelt and Genuine story
Revisado: 10-10-14
What made the experience of listening to Romany and Tom the most enjoyable?
I liked Ben Watt's Englishness and attention to detail and use with words.
I actually met Ben and Tracey in 1996 when they came to Houston. I was an aspiring musician then and gave them one of my demo cassettes. Nice gentleman.
What did you like best about this story?
This is about real life and it should be talked about more often. What happens when your parents get old?
Any additional comments?
The only negative for me is when Watt gives great detail about locations in England that I have no idea where they are.
