Flo & Joan at Latitude 2021 review
Flo & Joan offer tight, old-fashioned melodies with delightful vocal performances - but the ear-pleasing sonics are matched with spiky lyrics that delight the brain more. A perfect combination for a festival that makes a prize of its erudition, like Latitude.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 20th January 2020Live review: Flo & Joan, Soho Theatre
Flo & Joan's publicist asked me to ensure that I put an ampersand and not the full word "and" between their names when I wrote this review. I guess the musical comedy duo want to exert the same sort of precision over their billing as they do over their lyrics.
