A poetic; explosive thriller about teenagers on a night out that ends in violence. Winner of Metamorphosis 2008. In Bromley every Friday night; same time and place; Potts; Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of booze; birds and burgers. But their night out takes a dramatic and terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre; and a suspicious population points the finger at them. Overspill is set in Bromley; but it could be set in any town anywhere in the UK. There are hundreds of Bromleys in Britain These are the towns that millions of us grow up in. - Ali Taylor Ali Taylors slice of urban life is small but thrilling. It is driven by a pulsating rhythm; a sense of place; a menacing undercurrent of casual violence waiting to erupt; and a layered story that suggests the lads friendship was about to be blown apart by other factors as adolescence gives way to adulthood. The writing is gritty and sweaty; with a tom cat swagger and cut with half-rhymes and littered with assonance and alliteration... a tiny gem- Guardian A dazzling display of dramatic virtuosity... darkly polished; thrillingly inventive... gleams with gutter poetry- Time Out

Sometimes warm-ups can be tedious or boring but the ones in this book have come in handy for a change of pace from the ones my chorus usually use. Its easy to fall into old or lazy habits but alternating the warm-ups can keep the evening exciting and keep the singers on their toes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun for Middle School Choir and Very UsefulBy WidgeThere are a lot of great ideas and resources in this book. I like that the the warmups are labeled with what they help achieve such as range expansion; group cohesion; vowel formation; etc. My middle school choirs really enjoy the warmups and look forward to learning new exercises. This is a great resource to have on hand.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good resourceBy WendyNice collection
