Artificial Hip Hop
Music hall star Ida Barr retired from the stage in the late 60s but due to a spot of financial embarrassment has dug out her old cossie and is back on the boards. But she's not resting on her laurels, instead she's bang up to date with her unique fusion of rap and r'n'b in a music hall style. Truly urban music for a new Millennium. Thrill to her version of Missy Elliot's
She's A Bitch and get down as Ida drops some rhymes about the topics that matter - her home help, flue jabs, the fall she had doing the hokey cokey last Diwali in her sheltered accommodation.
