VINCE COSMOS Glam Rock Detective

What if a David Bowie-like rock star, embodied by the voice of Julian Rhind-Tutt, is really an alien? What if a secret battle for Earth is taking place? And what if the only person able to protect the rock star and Earth from the aliens is the secretary of the rock star’s fan club? There’s a lot to like in this sweetly nostalgic look at the old glam-rock scene of the 1970s. But what makes this production exceptional is newcomer Lauren Kellegher’s portrayal of Poppy Munday, the story's narrator and Vince Cosmos’s biggest fan. Kellegher’s delivery and northern England accent are so engaging, so personable, and so full of energy that listeners will want to climb right inside their earbuds and give Poppy Munday a great big hug. Now, that’s good audio. B.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2013]
