Andy Eastwood playing the banjo. He is wearing a hat, grey suit, and blue tie. He is standing in front of the Union Jack. Images of Maggie O'Hara and Steve Barclay styled like war-time photographs with them in military uniforms. Text reads 'Spirit of the Blitz. VE-Day 80th Anniversary Special'.

Spirit of the Blitz

Presented by Andy Eastwood
£21.50 - £20.50
City Varieties Music Hall

To mark this very special anniversary, we delve into the 1940s songbook for a tribute to the legendary stars who kept us smiling through our darkest days. Spirit of the Blitz recaptures the tenacious optimism of war-torn Britain.

Sing along to swinging hits like Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree, Bless ‘Em All, Leaning On A Lamp-Post, and of course, We’ll Meet Again.

Starring Andy Eastwood, Maggie O’Hara and Steve Barclay, this uplifting variety show recreates all your forties favourites, including Vera Lynn, George Formby, Max Miller, Bing Crosby, Anne Shelton and Gracie Field. A truly heart-warming afternoon of live music and laughter, accompanied by the superb Matthew Bason Band.

For those who remember the 1940s, Spirit Of The Blitz is a trip down memory lane; for those who don’t, it’s a Sentimental Journey back through time to the glorious melodies and good clean comedy that accompanied a dogged nation’s battle for survival.

Why not bring a party to enjoy this afternoon of pure nostalgia, celebrating a treasured generation of beloved, humble heroes.
