    In this volume devoted to his post-war London recordings, Lord Kitchener plays his many roles with signature aplomb and poised subtlety; first there is the hooligan chantwell, up for anything in the hurly-burly of carnival proper; then the casual reporter, firing off postcards to Trinidad about taxis, flashy booze, fast women and football in Manchester, with homesickness and grievance nestled just behind the optimism, pride and tentative senses of belonging.
