London Bridge is falling down, falling down... nah, looking up a review, it seems this trio is actually named after Frank Bridge, not, y'know, a bridge in London, lol.

>An intriguing aspect of the ensemble is its name. This is the trio based in London that is named after composer Frank Bridge, and not named after the connective construction linking one side of the Thames to another, a situation made even more confusing (or perhaps this is a photographic sleight that mirrors Dvořák’s playfulness in Op. 23) by the cover photo which shows a London bridge (Waterloo Bridge, in fact); that photo was possibly, even probably, taken from a location near London Bridge. Very good, if it is deliberate. ---- Colin Clarke

Normally this would be a silly thing to include in a review, but immediately when I came across their recording and read the name of the ensemble on the cover, I was wondering exactly that, lol, so I'm glad the reviewer did.
