Wartime Entertainment in W.W.II.
Stuart Antrobus will tell the story of wartime entertainment in the 1940s through extracts from period recordings. From Robb Wilton's "The day war broke out" and the cheekie-chappie rudery of Max Miller and Tommy Trinder to the craziness of Tommy Handley's popular radio show, ITMA, and the comedy songs of George Formby and Spike Jones - all did their bit to keep up morale during those dark days.
Tickets £5 to include light refreshents from J.Williams, The Old Bell House, 61 London Rd, St Ippolyts,Hitchin, SG4 7NE Please send s.a.e.
