"Supermarket Symphony was one of those transfixing radio experiences [...] This original and hugely moving take on a part of modern life that's
often derided as soulless was full of such moments: soaring, surprising
and enriching."
Elisabeth Mahoney, 11.07.11, The Guardian
"...the best of the bunch has to be Michael, a theatrical 75-year-old who
mans the cheese counter, and who compares his work to the experience of
having dinner with Miss World and meeting the Queen. His tale of the
young man and the dolcelatte will melt your heart."
David Crawford, Radio Times, 6.07.11
"This oddly charming programme turns the sounds of a supermarket into a work of audio art"
Susan Jeffreys, Saturday Mail, 2.07.11
"Who’d have thought that supermarkets have a music all their own? Not that
tinny easy listening stuff that slides into your ear as you hover your
trolley but the sounds of the trolleys themselves and the voices of some of
the people wheeling them, all woven into a composition by Nina Perry (for
imaginative independents Falling Tree)"
Gillian Reynolds, The Daily Telegraph, 8.07.11
