"Once instigators of Blueboy and Arabesque, Paul Stewart and Keith Girdler return with a concept record that sparkles with higher levels of wit, sophistication and polish of the best of their former bands. This admirable record is the fruit of irony, jazz, Italian films, The Last Of England, schoolgirls, frivolities, London poetry, latin misery, exotic tourism and the exhilaration of youth. Superb, unusual, outstanding are adjectives too often used, however, as one listens to the swinging cuts from this album all of these immediately come to mind. Now is the time, this is the place. This is Beaumont. " - taken from offical website
